Lindsey Vonn crashed and injured her left knee on Friday in her final downhill race before the Olympics, but said she still hopes to recover in time for the Milan Cortina Winter Games.

“This is a very difficult outcome one week before the Olympics … but if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s a comeback,” the 41-year-old American wrote on Instagram, hours after she was airlifted off the course for medical checks. “My Olympic dream is not over.”
