"If you were watching the 2026 Winter Olympics earlier today, you may have seen the upsetting footage of Lindsey Vonn's crash during the women's downhill competition. The accident took place early in the run, and followed news that Lindsey tore her ACL last week. After the crash took place, she was airlifted off of the mountain and taken to a nearby hospital."
"She just dares greatly. She put it all out there so it's really hard to see, but we just really hope she's okay...She always goes 110%. There's never anything less, so I know she put her whole heart into it and sometimes, just, like, things happen. It's a very dangerous sport. And there are a lot of variables at play. I don't really know exactly what happened. It did look like a pretty rough fall. We're just hoping for the best."
Lindsey Vonn crashed during the women's downhill at the 2026 Winter Olympics, with the accident occurring early in her run. The crash followed news that she had torn her ACL the previous week. Emergency personnel airlifted her from the slope to a nearby hospital for evaluation. The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team reported that she sustained an injury but remained in stable condition and was being cared for by American and Italian physicians. Her sister Karin Kildow said the family was hoping for the best, described the fall as scary and rough, and noted that Lindsey's surgical and physical therapy teams were present.
