The quarterfinals of the men’s Ski Cross created one of the most amazing photos of the Olympics following an epic crash on the final hill. On 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. Niederer was obviously pleased, but the video had to be reviewed to see who exactly came across the finish line second. It was determined that Russia’s Egor Korotkov came in second (yellow bib) and the other two skiers were eliminated.
Is this the greatest photo finish ever? The action has been fast and crazy in the #SkiCross this morning. pic.twitter.com/hUDzw2z53t
