Australian snowboarder Cam Bolton was airlifted to a hospital in Milan, Italy after learning he broke his neck in a fall the day after the incident occurred. Bolton, 35, fell during a training session in Livigno, Italy on Monday, February 9, while training for his 4th Olympic games. Though he appeared to be okay in the moment, walking away under his own power, Bolton woke up the next day with "severe" pain in his neck, according to a report from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Scans revealed a pair of fractures in Bolton's neck and he was taken by helicopter to the hospital, officially ending his 2026 Winter Olympics journey. Team Australia's chef de mission and former Olympic aerial skier Alisa Camplin-Warner assured fans in a statement released Tuesday, February 10, that Bolton was doing well. Lindsey Vonn Breaks Silence After Crash, Weighs In on Olympics Odds "Cam wanted to make sure? his teammates understood what was happening and that he was fine and doing well and being looked after well," she said. "He knows how seriously we're taking the process of support around him and the communication has been really good. I'm proud of the level of care." Bolton had been scheduled to compete in the snowboard cross competition in Livigno on Thursday, February 12. Team Australia has replaced him with James Johnstone, who is set to make his Olympic debut. Camplin-Warner, 51, added that Cam's wife, Grace, has joined him in the hospital as he recovers. Cam and Grace married in September 2025, though the two have kept most of their personal life off of social media. Since news of his injury broke, Australian athletes have expressed their well wishes. Olympic Snowboarder Taken Off Mountain on a Stretcher Following Violent Crash "I was gut-wrenched when I heard that news today about Cam," Olympic skier Britt Cox said in a Wednesday, February 11 appearance on Australia's Nine Network. "We had this amazing high this morning, seeing Jakara [Anthony] compete so well, and the rest of the Aussies. And then to come back and hear about Cam's injury from yesterday and the fact that he won't be competing at these Olympic Games is absolutely devastating." She continued, "But I do know that he's getting some good care from the Aussie Olympic medical team and the doctors here in Italy." Cox, 31, also revealed that 2026 would likely be Cam's final Olympic Games. "He's one of those athletes who've been aging like a fine wine," she said. "He's been getting better these last couple of years, performing really well. It could have been his best Olympic result at these Games." Lindsey Vonn Breaks Her Silence After Dramatic Crash at 2026 Winter Olympics "But, honestly, I'm just happy that he was up and walking around today after such a frightening crash," she added. Cam wasn't the only Australian snowboarder to suffer an injury. Halfpipe competitor Misaki Vaughan hit her head while training and failing a head injury assessment. She is currently in concussion protocol, which forbids her from competing for at least seven days, ruling her out of the 2026 Games. Australia will not replace Vaughan, 20, leaving Amelie Haskell and Emily Arthur as the country's two remaining competitors in that field. "Unfortunately with winter sport injuries happen along the way, in 53 athletes doing relatively high risk sports it's not something that's unusual I'm afraid to say," Camplin-Warner said, according to ESPN. "My heart breaks on their behalf - I know how much work goes into an Olympic dream."
