Skier Rowan Cheshire tweets picture of injuries

British halfpipe skier Rowan Cheshire has tweeted a photo showing cuts and bruises to her face after being knocked unconscious in a training accident.

The 18-year-old, who won her first World Cup title in Calgary last month, suffered a heavy fall at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park in Russia on Sunday evening.

The British Olympic Association says Cheshire is expected to be discharged later today.

A decision on whether she will be able to compete in Thursday's women's ski halfpipe competition will be made later this week.
