Freestyle skiing champion Sarah Burke died on Thursday after having been in a medically-induced coma for a week because of an accident at practice that left her with a brain injury.

The 29-year-old Olympic hopeful ruptured a vertebral artery after a nasty fall on January 10 in Park City, Utah, that led to severe bleeding, at which time she stopped breathing and paramedics could find no pulse.

Sarah passed away at 9:22 a.m. surrounded by her family at the University of Utah hospital and in a released statement they said her organs will be donated "to save the lives of others."

BMX rider TJ Lavin is in critical-but-stable condition at the trauma center of Las Vegas' University Medical Center on Friday, where he remains unconscious after suffering severe injuries during a Dew Tour Championships qualifying event Thursday, his mother told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

Lavin, 33, tried to execute a move called a “nac nac combination” over a high dirt hill when he lost control of his body and bike, careening into the ground.

Lavin was semi-conscious when officials retrieved him from the track, his mother said.

Barbara, who was at the hospital with her son early Friday, told RadarOnline.com it was going to be Lavin’s final professional ride, as he’d complained of the injuries he’d been piling up on the circuit and was retiring.
