Event Summary

Lindsey Vonn, a 41-year-old skier, suffered a frightening crash during the Winter Olympic downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. She lost control shortly after leaving the start house, resulting in a broken left leg and requiring evacuation by rescue helicopter. This incident occurred nine days after a previous knee injury in Switzerland. Vonn underwent an orthopedic operation to stabilize the fracture and is reported to be in stable condition. This crash potentially marks the end of her storied career, which included a gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games and multiple World Cup titles. Her teammate, Breezy Johnson, won the Olympic downhill on the same day.
