Three-way crash in men's skicross might be best finish at Sochi Games


The quarterfinals of the men’s skicross led to a photo finish that you likely won't see again at the Sochi Games.
With four skiers barreling toward the end of the race Thursday, Russia’s Egor Korotkov, Sweden’s Victor Norberg and Finland’s Jouni Pellinen all went down after the final jump, allowing Switzerland’s Armin Niederer to easily take the win. But Niederer’s win takes a back seat to how the other three competitors finished. Korotkov, who had the lead before crashing, ended up being the first of the three to slide across the finish line – courtesy of his flailing arm.
