She caught the outside edge of her ski which brought her down. This is pretty common on downhill skis (probably 210cm), with the super long shovels when you are skating hard out of the start hut you can catch the outside edge (which is insanely sharp). These skis are a lot different than your 165cm sport chek specials. It sucks and I felt awful for her, maybe because I used to ski race so I understand more. I think I read something about her tweaking/tearing her ACL as she went down as well. She had potential to medal as well.
