Jan. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. skier Lindsey Vonn crashed and was airlifted Friday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, ending her final downhill race before the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Vonn was among three skiers to crash during the event, which was canceled because of poor visibility after her accident. The 2010 gold medalist, who also has two Olympic bronze medals, lost control and found herself tangled in the safety netting.
She slowly glided down the Mont Lachaux course before being helped into a rescue harness and hoisted out of the area with the help of a helicopter.
Vonn, 41, favored her left knee before she was flown out. The U.S. Ski and Snowboard team said she is undergoing evaluation.
