Lais Souza, Brazilian gymnast turned freestyle skier, was injured after a training accident in Salt Lake City.

One of the biggest names in Winter Olympic sport, Shaun White, was injured training in Sochi. But says he should still be able to compete.
SAFETY should be the #1 priority at the Winter Olympics.
