British Olympian's Selfie Shows What Happens When You Mess Up at Skiing Bgp8D9EIMAAvx3I

The pictures being shared on social by media by Olympians at the 2014 Winter Games have tended toward the comic and joyful. There have been countless smiling #SochiSelfies, one too many suggestive photos featuring the Olympic flame and plenty of #SochieProblems.

British skier Rowan Cheshire showed another side -- a more painful one -- of the competition with a close-up image of her bruised and bloodied face.

The 18-year-old fell hard during a halfpipe training run on Sunday and was reportedly knocked unconscious. The official Twitter account of British Ski & Snowboard later announced that she suffered a concussion. She stayed at a local hospital overnight as a precaution.

On Monday she gave her followers on Twitter a glimpse of her battered face.

I don't know, can't find that reported anywhere. She did have to withdraw from the competition.
