Injured Snowboarder Kevin Pearce Improving
Many of the winter sports can be dangerous. Downhill skiing, ski cross and snowboarding all have a high rate of injury. On New Year’s Eve, Kevin Pearce (one of the United States’ best snowboarders) was injured in a halfpipe accident. He suffered a traumatic brain injury when he fell attempting a difficult trick. The good news is that he’s starting to improve. He has been upgraded from critical to serious condition and is doing much better than doctors initially expected. While this is great news for Kevin, he will still be out for the Olympics. Check back for information about who will be representing the United States in snowboarding.
