"Lindsey Vonn tore her ACL a week ago and is still competing in the 2026 Olympics. The alpine skier and U.S. Olympian successfully finished her downhill training run, a week after an injury that would hobble even the most diligent athletes. In the process, she instantaneously contributed a dramatic story line to this edition of the Winter Games. It's all the more notable because she once said, "My body just can't take another four years" of competition downhill."
"Like everything else happening at the 2026 Winter Olympics, all of Vonn's events will stream live on Peacock's desktop, mobile, tablet, and TV apps and air live on NBC. You can also expect to see them packaged as part of NBC's prime-time broadcast of the games. As of now, this is Vonn's tentative race schedule. Dates and times are subject to change. Women's Downhill: Sunday, February 8, starting at 5:30 a.m. ET. Women's Team Combined: Tuesday, February 10, starting at 4:30 a.m. ET."
Lindsey Vonn tore her ACL a week before and still completed a downhill training run, and is cleared to compete in her first medal event on Sunday.

All of Vonn's events will stream live on Peacock's desktop, mobile, tablet, and TV apps and air live on NBC, with packaging during NBC's prime-time broadcast. The tentative race schedule lists Women's Downhill on Feb. 8, Team Combined on Feb. 10, and Super-G on Feb. 12, with dates subject to change.
