LIVIGNO, Italy — Chinese snowboarder Liu Jiayu took a scary fall in Olympic halfpipe qualifying Wednesday and had to be carried off on a stretcher after landing hard on her left arm and shoulder, slamming her face and stomach to the ground then bending backward and somersaulting through the bottom of the pipe. There was no immediate word from the Chinese team on Liu’s status. 3 China’s Liu Jiayu crashes during the women’s snowboarding halfpipe qualifications at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
