American-born Team China skier Eileen Gu suffers brutal fall during Olympics

Olympic skiing star Eileen Gu suffered a gnarly fall during the women's halfpipe qualifier on Thursday. 

Gu's fall came on her first run when she clipped the lip of the halfpipe on the third trick, knocking her left ski off and sending her skittering to the bottom of the course.

That set up a pressure-packed second attempt that she had to complete cleanly to stay in contention.
