Talking to ESPN, Wood revealed how a TV cameraman carrying his equipment on his shoulder unexpectedly stood up and turned around. Which instantly jabbed him in the jaw and broke his teeth while causing cracks in others. He addressed, “I was looking down, and all the camera guys are below me on their knees or moving all around, trying to get a picture because she’s hugging people, saying congratulations to the other racers as they are coming down. Some already finished, some are there already in the changing area.”


Further, Tiger added, “I still had my mask on trying to blend in. There are not a lot of brown dudes at ski races. I’m trying to keep this thing on so the blood is not all over the place. Luckily, he hit the one with a root canal. He chipped that one and cracked the other.”

Revealing his experience on the flight, he said, “The flight home was a joke. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t drink until he fixed them. Until he put the temporaries on, I couldn’t have anything touch it. Even breathing hurt. Any kind of air rushed over the nerve of the tooth that was still alive that was cracked.” Meanwhile, he focused on Lindsey, who broke the record for most World Cup victories after suffering a serious knee injury in December 2013.
