Australian Daisy Thomas stretchered off in practice session
Livigno: Australian teenager Daisy Thomas has been stretchered off after a crash in her practice session on Friday afternoon, local time, at the Milano Cortina Olympics.
Thomas fell and crashed at the bottom of the Livigno slopestyle course on the final jump of her last practice run on Friday, only 15 minutes before the session was due to end.

The 18-year-old’s coach Noah Morrison was moments behind her on the slopes and went to her assistance, before she was stretchered off by medical staff.
She is due to compete in her first event – the women’s slope style qualifying – tomorrow morning.
Thomas ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in November, but persevered through the injury so she could make her Olympic debut at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics.
