Murray Buchan: 'Injured Rowan Cheshire wants us to ski'

Buchan: 'Cheshire wants us to ski'

Skier Murray Buchan has confessed that the injury sustained by fellow Great Britain competitor Rowan Cheshire will not put him off competing at the Sochi Games.

Cheshire, who was knocked unconscious during a training session ahead of her ski half-pipe event, had to spend 24 hours in hospital.

Despite this, Buchan was quick to point out that injuries are all part of the sport.

"Rowan's OK, so all our thoughts are with her, and hopefully we'll see her soon," the 22-year-old told BBC Sport. "We've all come here to do a job, and compete at the highest level, and that's the way the sport goes sometimes - there are crashes, there are injuries and [Rowan] would want us to keep skiing."

Buchan will be in action tomorrow afternoon.
