Sarah Burke Honored in Sochi; Workers Form Giant Heart in Skier’s Memory

Posted on February 21, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Two dozen workers formed a massive heart and skied down the halfpipe in honor of the late Sarah Burke, a champion freestyle skier, at the Sochi Olympics. The halfpipe pioneer died after a training accident in 2012 and had been instrumental in elevating women’s freestyle skiing to this global Olympic platform. This was the skiing community’s way of saying thank you: Burke’s husband, Rory Bushfield, and parents, Gord Burke and Jan Phelan, were there to see the result of her hard work, and were moved by the tribute. “Sarah has inspired us on snow and off snow, and she would have been very proud of how all of the girls rode tonight,” gold medalist Maddie Bowman of the U.S. said. “I sure hope that I and everyone else made her proud.” Burke’s father, Gord, told reporters after seeing the tribute that he couldn’t have imagined witnessing “so much love for one person. So much passion and energy.” Bowman said of Burke , who she met years ago, was “the coolest moment” of her life. France’s Marie Martinod also credited Burke with renewing her love of skiing. At the end of her second-place run today, she pointed to the sky and formed a heart with her hands for her former competitor and permanent inspiration. Bronze medalist Ayana Onozuka of Japan said that she was an Alpine skier before watching Burke inspired her to “take up a new profession.” Canada’s Rosalind Groenewoud, who finished seventh, said that she wished that the late Sarah Burke “could have won tonight if it wasn’t me.”

Sarah Burke, Pioneering Freestyle Skier, Dies At 29

Posted on January 19, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Olympic hopeful had been in a coma since a skiing accident in Park City, Utah, last week. By Kara Warner Sarah Burke Photo: Richard Bord/ Getty Images Professional skier and Olympic hopeful Sarah Burke died Thursday (January 19) following an accident during a training run on the superpipe in Park City, Utah, on January 11; Burke had been in a coma since the crash. Burke’s publicist confirmed the news of her death to People magazine. The freestyle skier’s death comes just one week after she underwent successful surgery to repair a torn vertebral artery that caused bleeding between her brain and skull. Despite the success of the procedure, Burke remained in a coma. Hospital officials told the magazine that Burke suffered a ruptured artery, which caused her to go into cardiac arrest. She sustained irreversible damage to her brain due to lack of oxygen and blood and never regained consciousness. According to a statement from her parents, sister and husband Rory Bushfield obtained by People, Burke died “peacefully surrounded by those she loved” and her organs and tissues were donated, per the skier’s wishes. The family also expressed their “heartfelt gratitude” in the statement, for the “international outpouring of support they have received from all the people Sarah touched.” The 29-year-old Canadian was considered a pioneer in women’s free skiing, “The Godmother” of the sport according to the Ski Channel . She was an eight-time X-Games medalist and an Olympic hopeful for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Burke’s family has reportedly received a substantial number of inquiries from people asking how they can offer support and make a donation on behalf of Burke.
