Nick Zoricic (19 February 1983 – 10 March 2012) was a Canadian ski cross skier who died following a severe crash during the 1/8-final of a World Cup event in Grindelwald, Switzerland.[1][2]
Life and career

Zoricic was born in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia to Serbian parents. He grew up in Toronto after emigrating to Canada with his family at the age of five. As is common among ski-cross athletes, Zoricic was an alpine ski racer before taking up ski-cross. In December 1998, he started in his first FIS race in the Nor-Am Cup. During the 2003–04 and 2004–05 seasons, he competed in four World Cup slaloms but was never able to advance past the first round of competition. For several years, he tried in vain to compete with the world's best slalom skiers and in 2008 he decided to switch to freestyle skiing instead.
Zoricic made his ski-cross debut at the Freestyle World Cup on 19 January 2009 in Lake Placid, finishing in 61st. He earned his first World Cup points on 24 February of that year when he finished 15th at Branäs, Sweden. During the 2009–10 season, he failed to qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Zoricic's greatest success came in the 2010–11 season. That year, he was never ranked lower than eighth and made his first World Cup podium on 7 January 2011 by finishing second at St. Johann in Tyrol. A year later, on 15 January 2012, he finished third in the World Cup race at Les Contamines.
Death

At the World Cup race on 10 March 2012 in Grindelwald, Switzerland, Zoricic crashed hard into netting lining the course after going wide and falling on the final jump. He suffered severe skull and brain trauma and was airlifted to a hospital in Interlaken where he succumbed to his injuries after a 50-minute attempt to resuscitate him.[3] Zoricic was 29 years old at the time of his death.
