"Snowboarder Mark McMorris had a heavy crash this evening during big air training. In big air, riders do four, five or more spins after taking off from a ramp that in Livigno is more than 50 metres tall and built on scaffolding. McMorris won all of his Olympic medals and eight of his 12 X Games titles in slopestyle; the other four X gold medals came in big air, which was added to the Olympic program in 2018. Last month, he told the AP that he was in good health heading into the first Olympics in his 30s.
