Canada's Mark McMorris stretchered off hill after fall in pre-Olympic snowboard training
- On Wednesday night, Canada's three-time Olympic bronze-medalist Mark McMorris crashed during big air training in Livigno and was stretchered off the course.
- Big air demands multiple spins from a more-than-50-meter ramp, with riders attempting four, five or more spins in Livigno, increasing crash risk.
- The 32-year-old McMorris, making his fourth Olympics, was preparing for Thursday night's qualifying about 24 hours before the opening ceremony, and last month he told the AP he was in good health and training in the gym.
- Officials from Canada's snowboard team did not immediately respond to AP inquiries, and McMorris' medical history of a rod in his leg and plates in his arm and jaw raises concern.
- His Olympic medals and eight of 12 X Games titles in slopestyle, plus four X Games big air golds since 2018, highlight career stakes.
