A Bulgarian skier has vented her fury after a wayward course worker interrupted her run during the slalom at the Winter Olympics.
Eva Vukadinova was forced to stop after she came across a course worker who was in her path. He was apparentely on the course to retrieve an instrument accidentally left behind after one of the poles required fixing.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Vukadinova let loose.

“I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY,” she wrote.
“A lot of emotions are going through me right now. I cannot even describe what I felt after that first run.
“Why me? Why didn’t that happen to any of the top 30 girls? Could that even happen to any of them? Is that even fair?”
Despite being given a re-run, Vukadinova said it was “not the same.”
“Not when you have to ski down to the chair lift, go up, go down the start (with my race ski) and start almost immediately.
“I may be not a top level skier or fighting for the podium, but I also worked a lot to get here!!!
“Don’t I at least deserve the same CHANCE like everyone else?”
Vukadinova ended her first run in 49th position. She did not finish the course on her second attempt to remain in that placing.
Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova claimed gold, while Austria’s Katharina Liensberger and Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener rounded out the medals.
