"USA won two gold medals on Day 2 at the 2026 Winter Olympics as Lindsey Vonn's horrible crash dominated the headlines. Vonn's teammate, Breezy Johnson, won the first of the medals having already set the fastest time in the women's downhill. The second gold came at the end of the day, as Ilia Malinin led USA to gold in the figure skating team event."
"One of the true superstars of the Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn, was attempting to get back on the podium despite having a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Her run in the women's downhill soon went badly wrong, leading to her being airlifted to the hospital from the top part of the course. Sources have since reported that the 41-year-old underwent surgery on her left leg earlier today, after the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team confirmed that Vonn was in stable condition."
