Lindsey Vonn, the 41-year-old American skiing legend, revealed she ruptured her left ACL in a crash last week but intends to compete in the women's downhill at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. The injury occurred during a World Cup race in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, just days before her event in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Experts say the bid is extraordinary but possible with her elite conditioning and a knee brace.
Richie Saunders, a senior guard for the No. 22 BYU Cougars, sustained a season-ending torn ACL just 45 seconds into their 90-86 overtime victory over Colorado on Saturday. The injury occurred in Provo, Utah, during the team's opening possession. Saunders, the 2024-25 Big 12 Most Improved Player, shared his heartbreak on Instagram while expressing faith in his recovery.
