Jasmine Flury claimed only her second World Cup win as the Swiss skier triumphed on Saturday in Val d'Isere, France, in a downhill race that was delayed because of a horrific crash for Canada's Stefanie Fleckenstein.
The race was interrupted for about 20 minutes so Fleckenstein could be treated and stretchered off the course. The skier from Whistler, B.C., crashed right at the end of her run and slid over the finishing line, yelling in pain.
Other athletes covered their eyes and ears as Fleckenstein's screams of agony could be clearly heard. WATCH | Canadian skier crashes at finish line *Graphic content warning*: Flury was 0.22 seconds ahead of compatriot Joana Haehlen and 0.24 faster than Austrian skier Cornelia Huetter.
Flury's only other World Cup win in her career was a super-G in her native Switzerland six years ago although the 30-year-old recorded a surprise victory in the world championships in February.
