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.
