Performer injured in Olympic ceremony rehearsal accident

A performer has been hospitalized after an accident at a rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Youth Winter Olympics in Lausanne.
The International Olympic Committee said yesterday that a female performing artist was evacuated for treatment at a hospital in Lausanne after the incident Tuesday at the city’s main hockey stadium.
“The IOC and Lausanne 2020 wish the performer a fast and full recovery,” the Olympic body said in a statement.
No details of the performer or her injuries were given.
The two-week games open today with a ceremony at a new arena which will also host games at the men’s hockey world championships in May. AP
