Who Was That Camera Falling Down a Ski Slope at the Winter Olympics? – Vulture

No B-roll jokes, pleasehave some respect. Captured in NBC footage Vultures photo team called never-ending and so sad, a camera took a tumble down a snowy slope at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing on February 3. Small parts of the camera can be seen flying off from the sheer force of her flips and spins down the icy hill. After several rows of people failed to notice the frankly impressive display of athleticism behind them, a photographer at the bottom of the slope eventually reached out to collect the cameras motionless body. We dont know for sure yet whether she survived (Sony does have a camera center at the Olympics for repairs), but Vulture has asked a spokesperson for NBC Olympics to look into this sad incident.

Photography site PetaPixel identified the fallen camera as a Sony kit worth up to $8,700. Beyond that, its still unclear who exactly she was and why she fell. Was she dreaming of becoming an Olympic gymnast? Upset that she didnt book Rihannas maternity shoot? Tired of always focusing but never being the focus? All we know is that she didnt deserve this. If this feels oddly familiar, she wasnt the first to fall at an event like this: Vinko Bogataj became famous when he suffered the agony of defeat during a failed ski jump in 1970. It didnt end his career, and were hoping the same applies this time, too.
