[edit] 2006 Winter Olympics

On February 13, 2006, while training for the downhill race at the 2006 Winter Olympics, Kildow crashed and was evacuated by helicopter to a nearby hospital. Despite a bruised hip, she did not bow out of the competition, instead competing and finishing 8th. Kildow and several other racers had complained that the course was too easy, and Olympics organizers had made several modifications to the course, including adding more jumps.
