[February 03, 2022] ZHANGJIAKOU,
China (Reuters) -American Kai Owens, who fell during a practice
session this week, did not participate in the first round of the
women's Olympic freestyle moguls qualifiers on Thursday.
The 17-year-old, who was born in China and raised in the United
States, had been due to start fourth in the qualifiers.
Owens on Wednesday posted photos of her bruised and swollen face on
Instagram and said she had had a "little crash".
"I'm doing well, in high spirits, and working with our medical team
to evaluate and make the best decisions," she said, thanking her
supporters for their good wishes.
