Looking at that video, I think the Slovenians have a case.

so there's a deep gorge RIGHT beside the track (look at the markers, you take one step out of bounds and you're in the hole), on a downhill corner, and no one even thinks to put a fence there? damn right VANOC should be sued for negligence, that's just ######ed

[ricosuave]

but, but they have teal triangles to show that she needed to stop there!

wow, damn straight I'd be suing too.

[Smell My Finger]

She probably will be awarded the Betty Fox or maybe its called the Terry Fox award by Canada to the Olympian that demonstrated perseverance.

[Flame Of Liberty]

Wow that's one tough woman. Hats off.

And shame on the organizers.

Is it too much to expect "the best" in the world to be able to stay on a track?
VANOC should be putting up a torch-protecting-barrier along the entire length of the tract to protect these fragile athletes!

And shows up for the medal ceremony in a wheel chair after being able to win a bronze medal? Give me a break
