Yuki Tsubota stretchered off during skiing slopestyle final

Canada skier Yuki Tsubota has been stretchered off the Rosa Khutor piste after falling heavily during the Olympic skiing slopestyle final in Sochi.

Replays showed the 20-year-old's head hitting her knee as she crashed into the snow during her second run.

Tsubota finished in sixth, courtesy of her first run which gave her 71.60, a place ahead of Great Britain's Katie Summerhayes.

Fellow Canadians Dara Howell and Kim Lamarre earned gold and bronze respectively, with United States skier Devin Logan securing silver and preventing a Canadian clean sweep.
