Dramatic crashes, spectacular spills and high-profile injuries – if anything, a week and a half of action in Pyeongchang has proved Winter Olympic events carry with them a fairly high degree of risk.

 

Just yesterday, one of the Canadian skiers Chris Del Bosco suffered a suspected broken pelvis after a brutal 30m fall in the men’s ski cross.

He desperately kicked his legs in midair to try to reset himself but could not get upright.
