Overview
- Lindsey Vonn finished a second official training run on Saturday in 1:38.28 while wearing a large knee brace, with coach Aksel Lund Svindal noting she appeared calm though she favored her right leg on landings.
- Her first downhill training run on Friday clocked 1:40.3, roughly 11th in that session, as she continued testing the stability of her left knee following last week’s crash.
- The women’s downhill medal race is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 8 at 5:30 a.m. ET, with live coverage on USA Network and Peacock and NBC re-airs later in the day.
- Decisions on whether Vonn will enter the team combined on Feb. 10 and the super-G on Feb. 12 will follow the downhill based on performance and medical assessment.
- Vonn is attempting to compete days after rupturing the ACL in her left knee with associated bone bruise and meniscal damage on Jan. 30, extending a comeback that followed a 2019 retirement and a partial knee replacement in 2024.
