Torin Yater-Wallace hospitalized after Dew Tour crash

Two-time Olympian Torin Yater-Wallace was hospitalized by a ski halfpipe fall at the Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colo., on Sunday.

Yater-Wallace, 23, took the wrong angle off a takeoff on the final feature of a modified halfpipe course, landing near the flat bottom and collapsing to the snow. He was tended to for about 15 minutes before being taken off on a sled.

There has been no official word on his injuries.

“He had the heaviest landing I’ve ever seen,” was posted on double Olympic champion David Wise‘s social media. “I had just finished my run and got to him very quickly, he was in serious pain with his heels, but his back and head were ok.
