BamaTanya Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I was halfway watching last night w/ the sound turned down because my children were watching a movie when I saw a man crash and go limp. I have no idea which team or which specific ski event (I live in Alabama and we don't do winter sports -- I just enjoy watching them, lol). How can I find updates? I just want to know he's ok . . .:001_unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsweetpea Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He is OK. They updated after the event. He went to the hospital with a concussion and was bruised up. My husband and I thought it looked like he broke a leg but they did not announce that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 He is a 40 yo Swede. Patrik Jaersen, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I got his last name wrong - it's Jaerbyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTanya Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 I was worried about him. Watching Olympic sports is such a thrill and I can't stand seeing someone get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yep, he was fine. Today was much worse. Two women crashed on the same event and the bobsled events were brutal. Also several wipeouts on the skating comps. No major injuries though. I am so glad my kids don't compete. I don't think my heart can take it.

If I get this anxious over strangers -- --- well, I just can't imagine if my kids were doing that! We do less dramatic activities! I do love watching the Olympics, though. These events are so impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Can I jump in with a goalie mommy moment? My son is an ice hockey goalie and I can't believe how he focuses on the puck when there are huge players bearing down on him. It terrifies me. He is so focused and intent on the puck and just ignores the big bodies and the sticks and pushing and the crashing and the pile-on. OMGoodness. It kills me. When the whistle blows and they all untangle, my boy is on the bottom. He pops up with puck in his glove and I thank God. My mommy-heart can't take it. Thanks for listening. He has a game today with his teaam's biggest rival and I am afraid it might get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
