Mikaël is now talking freely about the extend of his injury this Fall (in French): https://ici.radio-canada.ca/sports/2232726/ski-acrobatique-kingsbury-blessure-projets

 

So when he missed the second Val St. Côme world cup it wasn't load management, he genuinely could not compete.

 

He's officially not doing another world cup this season, he's undecided about whether or not he'll do the Canadian championships. He sounds like he's done (what difference does it make if I've won 100 or 104 world cups?) but he's refusing to officially rule out coming back to competition (he's only fully ruling out another Olympics).

sad but not unexpected really

Silver for Drury in men’s ski cross during race one of the Kopaonik WC, unfortunately he got injured in a three-way crash during the big final and wasn’t able to attend the medal ceremony. 
 

4th for Howden, he crossed the line well in first but received a yellow card for line deviation. 
 

In the women’s event, Schmidt finished 4th and Thompson 5th

And seemingly a pretty well deserved yellow card as well from looking at the replay.

 

Hopefully Drury's injury isn't too bad.
