"Driving the news: Vonn, 41, was trying to continue her comeback despite a ruptured ACL but crashed shortly into her run and had to be airlifted to a hospital, where she was later diagnosed with a broken leg. While Vonn failed to finish, fellow American Breezy Johnson took the gold medal, becoming the first American to medal at this year's Winter Games."
"Meanwhile, back in Milan, Team USA needed a victory by Ilia Malinin in the men's free skate to win - and the "Quad God" delivered, landing a backflip on one foot, along with several other jumps. Between the lines: Team USA skater Amber Glenn, who identifies as pansexual, said the win was especially gratifying after receiving so much online hate that she left social media."
