[1] Kato suffered a broken left arm after a fall while competing in the Nordic combined event during the Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
After a seemingly successfully jump on the large hill, Kato's left ski came loose seconds after he landed, causing him to fall at high speed, sustaining the injury in the process.
He was unable to continue in the competition, which would include a 10 km cross-country ski race.
