sounds like she lost her balance!
you can lose it by leaning too far into a turn without enough pressure on the snow or a numerous amount of ways. i've been the victim of losing my grip on my pole out of the start occasionally which just messes up your run right off the start. i have seen people fall right out of the start with no pushing. the differnce being is this is the olympics and probably the only time 90% of the viewing audience will ever see ski racing.
