This is the image of the day at the Beijing Olympics.
This Thursday took place the qualifications of the men's halfpipe.
And not everything went as planned for bib number 14, Finland's Jon Sallinen.
While engaged in his first run, the young 21-year-old skier made a mistake on his fifth jump.
On the top of the half-tube, he hit the camera of a cameraman, as shown in the images broadcast by Eurosport.

No bobo but an elimination
The freestyler fell heavily.
More fear than harm, however, since the two men were obviously not injured.
Jon Sallinen, however, had to settle for a very low score (18), specifies France Info.
On his second attempt, he only marginally improved his mark (18.50).
A last place and a score too low to qualify for the final.
A final that will see Kevin Rolland.
The French skier, flag bearer of the tricolor delegation with Tessa Worley, finished tenth.
He will try to obtain a second Olympic medal on Saturday after the bronze obtained in Sochi in 2014.
