The trouble happened right away. Irina came speeding toward the first gate. It was the same one that had given Dory trouble in the second race. As Irina went into it she fell, taking the pole with her. She turned over and over while her skis flew high into the air. For a while, it seemed that she might roll and slide all the way down the hill. People were screaming. Dory felt her heart pounding. Then she started running toward Irina.
