Whistler (AFP) - Sweden's seven-time world champion Anja Paerson is uncertain to start in the women's Olympic super-combined after suffering severe bruising in a spectacular crash in Wednesday's downhill. Paerson was racing to a silver medal when she landed awkwardly after flying higher than she would have liked off the final jump "Hot Air", before crashing out of the race. Although a hospital scan revealed no serious injuries, a team spokesman said the 29-year-old's participation in Thursday's super-combined was in doubt. "For the moment it's 50-50," team spokesman Camilla Sandy told AFP. "Anja has bruising on her left leg, on her thigh and has a sore calf. The soreness on her calf seems to be the main problem. "A decision on whether she will race tomorrow will only be taken in the morning (Thursday). Maybe she will go up on the hill first to see how she feels." After misjudging the jump Paerson slid across the finish line ski-less and had to receive medical attention before leaving with a doctor. She was the highest-profile casualty in a race which, despite featuring several spectacular crashes, was described by several racers as the "perfect" Olympic downhill. Nevertheless, International Ski Federation (FIS) officials said they will immediately start work on shaving the final jump for the shorter downhill section of Thursday's race. Paerson's coach Ulf Emilsson said after the crash: "If you see the crash, it's amazing that she can actually walk. She is happy to have ...
