🏔❄️ Lindsey Vonn Update: After a heart-stopping crash in the women’s downhill alpine skiing final at the Winter Olympics, everyone is anxious about the legendary skier’s condition. The 41-year-old American star, who bravely participated despite a recent knee injury, was airlifted to hospital after an early crash on the course. 💥
Prior to the final, Lindsey made an incredible comeback after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. Against all odds—and with a brace on her knee—she hit the slopes, astonishing everyone with her resilience and determination.
The accident caused a significant hold-up in the event. Former British skier Chemmy Alcott, visibly emotional, was quick to update fans, saying Vonn’s doctor was on-site and accompanied her to Cortina. However, she’ll likely head to Innsbruck for further care. 🙏
Heartbreakingly, another skier, Andorra’s Cande Moreno, also faced a similar fate just moments after Lindsey’s crash and was similarly airlifted for medical attention. The race concluded with Vonn’s fellow American Breezy Johnson topping the podium, followed by Germany’s Emma Aicher and Italy’s Sofia Goggia. 🏅
