Wemba Wemba and Guring-gai Paralympian has updated fans that she is "sore, but okay" after her history-making presence in Italy was cut short by a fall in her snowboard event.
Reid was stretchered away after suffering a heavy impact on landing a jump in her pre-heat run at Cortina Para Snowboard Park - where she became the first Indigenous athlete to compete at a Winter Paralympics.
The two-time Summer Games gold medal-winning cyclist was taken to hospital for scans, with Australia team medical staff informing Reid stayed in hospital on Sunday night for precautionary observations.
It came after an earlier fall in the lead up to the event.
Reid provided a tongue-in-cheek update via social media on Tuesday morning, Australian time.
"Come with me on my Winter Paralympic debut a step-by-step guide on what NOT to do," she wrote.
"P.S. I'm sore, but okay. Huge thanks to the medical teams and everyone for taking such good care of me.
Reid's competeing in the SB-LL2 added another line to her extensive CV at elite global meets.
She was also fancied as a medal chance in Italy.
Selected for the London Paralympics in 2012 as a swimmer, Reid later transitioned to cycling - nabbing silver in the 500m Time Trial C1-3 Cycling at Rio 2016, before claiming gold in the same event at consecutive games in Tokyo and Paris.
Reid picked up snowboarding in 2018.
Of 16 known Indigenous Paralympians, she is the first to compete at a Winter Games.
"Being the first Indigenous athlete selected is an honour that carries deep meaning and pride," Reid told National Indigenous Times ahead of the games.
"I feel incredibly proud and grateful to represent my community and Country at the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milano-Cortina.
"I hope my journey inspires other Indigenous people to believe they can achieve this too."
