Former Team GB and Olympic skier Chemmy Alcott is reported to be hospitalised after suffering a collapsed lung following a failed front flip into a lake during a trip in France. Multiple outlets say the injury occurred when the flip attempt went wrong and she landed in the water.
The Independent reports that Alcott posted a video of the failed attempt on Instagram. Other coverage describes the incident as a “front flip dive,” without adding further detail about how it was carried out or the circumstances leading to the jump. While the accounts use slightly different wording, they broadly agree on the key elements: the activity involved a front flip into water, the attempt failed, and she is left with a collapsed lung.
No outlet in the provided reports specifies the length of her hospital stay or gives medical details beyond the diagnosis, and none cites officials or medical spokespeople. The overall differences are mainly in phrasing and whether the incident is linked to the social media video.
