Former downhill skiing Olympian - and now skier cross athlete - Jenny Owens, has become the third Australian to succumb to a major injury at the start of the 2006/07 season. Owens was competing in the Jeep King of the Mountain in Snowbird late last week racing in the small final (for third and fourth placing) when she landed on top of one of the double jumps and injured her knee.
