=The crash in Vikersund=
In 2000, Khamidulin competed in the Ski-flying World Championships in Vikersund. Khamidulin jumped in the qualification round in hard wind, and after taking off, turned around to the side and crashed on his head and neck. He rolled down the long hill and lost his helmet on the way down. The competition was later stopped due to the hard winds. Khamidulin escaped with a concussion but he never jumped in a professional competition again.{{Cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/wintersports/news/2000/02/14/hannawald_ski_flying/ |title=CNNSI.com - Winter Sports - Hannawald wins ski flying competition - Monday February 14, 2000 01:27 PM |access-date=January 21, 2009 |archive-date=1 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110101125601/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/wintersports/news/2000/02/14/hannawald_ski_flying/ |url-status=dead}}
