Last weekend was tough one for Rachel Atherton. After an already stellar season, Atherton was feeling good during her practice run in Les Gets, boosting the long jump and teeing up to hit the big drop near the bottom of the venue. That’s when things went really wrong - she cased the final jump, rupturing her Achilles tendon in the process.
