Polish skier Pawel Babicki had one of the more unfortunate runs of his career last week in Italy when he lost a ski early in a downhill race.
Babicki powered through it, however, finishing the rest of the race on one leg, making the feat look easy.
Babicki, who is still hoping to qualify for the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, finished 67th out of 67, but drew an ovation from the race crowd. Afterward, he said he was inspired by Bode Miller, an American ski great who finished a race on one leg in 2005 at world championships.
