Rory Bushfield, professional extreme skier and contestant on Splash, opens up about the death of his wife, Sarah Burke. She was an acclaimed freestyle skier who died in January of last year after crashing at the bottom of a superpipe during a training run in Park City, Utah, reports People. The couple had been married since 2010. “My life’s changed drastically,” Rory said as he choked up. “I lost my wife. I had it all. I still have a lot. I’m thankful for everything I have, but I had it all.” He goes on to talk about how he felt about his late wife. “Sarah was my dream girl before she knew who I was,” he says. “A lot of the craziest things I ever did were just kind of to impress Sarah.” He had proposed to his wife by spelling out “Marry Me Sarah” in rocks on a remote snow-covered field, he then flew her over the field to see it.
