A Dutch cyclist, Annemiek van Vleuten, crashed spectacularly near the end of the women’s road race at the Olympics on Sunday, suffering a concussion and fracturing her spine.
Van Vleuten was leading the race by 40 seconds about 12 miles from the finish and was heading downhill when she failed to negotiate a turn, hit the curb and tumbled over her handlebars, landing on her head.
The Dutch team said that Van Vleuten had suffered a heavy concussion. She was in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a Rio de Janeiro hospital. “Annemiek went through a total CT scan and is stable now,” said the team’s chief medical officer, Cees Rein van den Hoogenband. “No internal bleedings or damage. She will stay in intensive care for the next 24 hours. She is fully conscious and her reactions are adequate. She also suffers from three minor fractures in her lumbar spine.” — VICTOR MATHER

A guy in my unit died on deployment while in the middle of a large base in Iraq because a random bullet came down from the sky and hit him in the head. That would have killed someone had it brained them.

well it's target shooting not skeet but yeah, they use real rifles in olympic biathlon

there's plenty of shooting sports at the summer olympics that use real firearms though...50m/25m pistol, 25m rapid fire pistol, 50m rifle prone, and 50m rifle three positions. Also the shotgun events (trap, skeet, and double trap).

e: I should point out that all of the pistol and rifle events are all chambered in some version of .22. There hasn't been a centerfire rifle or pistol event at the summer olympics since the 300m rifle was last shot in '64.

turn right to escape
Airgun and Small bore are two different events which take different disciplines, a lot of athletes compete in both though. The unfortunate looking girl who won us our first gold medal will be shooting .22lr in a day or two. The real bullshit came in with London. Can't have a bunch of Olympians at a sanctioned sporting event with ~pistols!!!~ so they gave them laser pointer adapters. If I'm recalling correctly, they sprung this idea on the athletes only like a month or two before the games so they barely had time to practice with the dumbass things.

nah honestly very little of that exists. The sporting clays events (trap, skeet, and double trap) are relatively "normal" in that it's just folks with (super fancy) O/Us busting clays, but the remainder of shooting events are all either airgun or smallbore, both of which are pretty much across the board augmented Universal Soldier "I have five different things hanging off my shooting glasses and a super low-bore pew pew spacegun" "shooting." The least weird non-shotgun shooting olympic sport is probably biathlon, only because they can't have all that bullshit hanging off their face when they shoot because they have to go ski a couple miles in between shots (biathlon shooters typically only have super-fancy aperture sights, nothing else)
