Lindsey Vonn says ‘Olympic dream is not over’ after crashing in last downhill before Winter Games
- On Jan. 30, 2026, Lindsey Vonn crashed in her final World Cup downhill in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, causing the race to be canceled exactly a week before the Milan‑Cortina opening ceremony.
- Landing a jump off-balance, Vonn was spun into safety nets amid difficult visibility and a bumpy course that caused three of the first six racers to crash, including Nina Ortlieb and Marte Monsen.
- After receiving on-course treatment for about 5 minutes, Vonn skied slowly to the finish clutching her left knee, limped into a medical tent and was airlifted to hospital, saying on social media her Olympic dream is not over.
- It wasn't clear immediately how Lindsey Vonn's crash would affect her Olympic preparations, and the U.S. Ski Team said she was being evaluated ahead of the women's downhill on Feb. 8.
- Vonn, who returned from retirement, won last month’s St. Moritz World Cup downhill and leads the season with multiple victories and podiums despite skiing with a partial titanium implant in right knee.
