Maria Leonidovna Komissarova (Template:Lang-ru) is a Russian athlete who competes in freestyle skiing. She was due to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics, but during a training run before her event, she fractured a vertebra with a dislocation of her spine, rendering her unable to compete.

Career

At the 2012 World Cup in Grindelwald, Switzerland, Maria Komissarova became the first ever Russian woman to win a World Cup medal, coming second. She has been described as the "face of Russian freestyle skiing".

In 2013, surgery on a leg injury meant that Komissarova was unable to compete for six months.

Komissarova was due to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. However, in training at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on 15 February 2014 in training on the ski cross course, she had a spinal cord injury with a fracture and dislocation of the twelth thoracic vertebrae. Komissarova had major surgery for six and a half hours. The Russian Federation, for which she was competing, said "Doctors carried out the necessary examination and took the decision to operate on her on the spot". Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, said that "We hope that the operation will be successful and that she will be back". She was due to compete on the 21 February 2014, but it was announced after the accident that she would not be competing. The accident was the first serious accident with athletes at the Sochi Olympics.

On the same day Komissarova was admitted to hospital, on the evening of 15 February 2014, Vladimir Putin visited the skier and spoke to her father.

On 16 February 2014, the day after the incident, Komissarova was moved to a Munich hospital where she underwent a new surgery on 17 February. The Russian Freestyle Federation said rehabiliton might take a long time.
