Unfortunately for the Japanese it's

not going in the best way. In fact the

snowboarder Rina Yoshika injured

her back due to a bad fall during an

exercise. The medical staff rushed to

help her and put her in a sled to take

her down the hill. Japanese Olympic

officials said the 22 year old suffered

a spinal injury but luckily was not paralyzed.
