Yeah, that's super unfortunate but it's not the only one - a number of Norwegian skiers wore black armbands in commemoration of a brother of one of the athletes (IIRC) who passed away the day before the event. IOC came down on them for that too.
Personally I think the whole field in men's and women's ski slope and pipe should just wear the things and if they want to disqualify the entire field, more the better - that would be the most freeskiing thing ever. But sounds like they'll just stick to talking about her in interviews.
