Lindsey Vonn’s Injury UPDATE After Scary Olympic Crash
The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team is providing an update on Lindsey Vonn after her terrifying crash during the women’s downhill final at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Hours after the gold medalist was airlifted from the mountain on Sunday, Feb. 8, the U.S. Ski Team took to social media to share how she was recovering, writing, “Update: Lindsey Vonn sustained an injury, but is in stable condition and in good hands with a team of American and Italian physicians.” The Olympian’s crash occurred just 13 seconds into the downhill final. Vonn had also been skiing in a brace after she ruptured the ACL in her left knee days ago at Switzerland’s Crans-Montana World Cup Race. “This is a very difficult outcome one week before the Olympics…but if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s a comeback. My Olympic dream is not over,” she wrote in part on Instagram at the time. The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are airing on NBC and Peacock through Feb. 22.

God bless her
Heart of a lion!
I like the narrators voice
It was the TDS that rotted her brain and caused the crash. Couldn't happen to a nastier individual. If I could say one thing to Lindsey it would be "GFY".
the coach of this Ski team should have told her " You're OUT – the Alternate in now in your place. Her injury leading up to this event should have had her on the sidelines
My prayers are with her 🙏🙏🙏
She needs to retire while she can still walk.
She stole someone else's dream of meaningfully competing. This was not unforeseeable. There's a reason elite athletes are not broken down people in their 40s.
She’s so selfish and desperate for attention that she refused to do what was best for the team and withdrew
She’s old and has definitely hit the wall
Already
The way these Olympic athletes are acting bad mouthing their own country I have zero sympathy for any of them and won’t be watching these entitled clowns!
Sadly predictable/inevitable.
She's probably blaming Trump
Oh well 😂
Prayers for a speedy recovery 🙏
SHE JUST ADDED TO CLIMATE CHANGE WITH THAT HELICOPTER.
THE MOST IGNORANT DECISION EVER
She's lucky it wasn't worse than it was. That looked absolutely brutal
INCREDIBLY selfish
I feel bad for the athlete left off the team for the broken one. 🤷
Should have never even been there.
It was totally predictable.
She's done. Should not have even been competing due to previous injury. Go home.
Pride goes before the fall, Lindsey.
Our prayers go up for Ms Vonn, praise Jesus Christ our Lord!
