Jessie Stephens

She was like, I'm not bowing out.

I am competing.

In 2008, actually, Tiger Woods competed in the US Open with a torn ACL and stress fractures in his left leg.

But that's golf.

Yeah, Jessie.

It's golf.

But I had to bring up Tiger Woods because he's her ex.

And I just thought that that was just, I wanted to put it in, but I didn't want it to sound like that's the most interesting thing about her.

But I know you wanted to know too.

Okay.

Anyway, skiing is not golf as established, but she had won 12 times in this exact spot in Cortina.

And she was attempting to become the oldest Alpine skier, man or woman, to win an Olympic medal.

That dream was not realised.

So 13 seconds into her run, she experienced a devastating crash which ended in a broken leg, the same leg with the ruptured ACL.

And you could hear her screams of pain on the broadcast.

So the people who go you shouldn't have taken a spot because you were never match fit, she's trying to say what happened on that field could have happened to you.

anyone, and experts tend to agree with her.

They say that actually it wasn't to do with her leg.

It was to do with she clipped something as she went past, and it was to do with balance and blah, blah, blah.

It could have happened to anyone.
