Overview
- Lindsey Vonn crashed about 13 seconds into her downhill run in Cortina d’Ampezzo and received prolonged on‑slope treatment before being flown off the mountain by helicopter.
- U.S. Ski & Snowboard said Vonn is in stable condition and being evaluated by medical staff, with care coordinated by American and Italian physicians.
- The women’s downhill was paused for medical response and later completed, with Team USA’s Breezy Johnson winning gold, Germany’s Emma Aicher taking silver and Italy’s Sofia Goggia earning bronze.
- Vonn had revealed a complete tear of her left ACL from a Jan. 30 crash in Crans‑Montana and met Olympic requirements by completing training runs while wearing a knee brace.
- Her planned entries in the team combined and super‑G now appear in doubt pending further medical assessment.
