VANCOUVER, Feb. 14 (AP) - (Kyodo)—Japanese snowboard cross racer Yuka Fujimori was released from a hospital on Saturday, a day after banging her head in an accident during training for the Vancouver Olympics.
The Japanese delegation said that the 23-year-old was admitted to a hospital as a precautionary measure but is set to compete in the race getting under way on Tuesday as scheduled.
On Friday, Fujimori made a crash landing when she was thrown off- balance by a gust of wind at Cypress Mountain. No abnormalities were found after she underwent a detailed examination the same day.
Fujimori finished in seventh at the Turin Olympics in 2006.
