Vonn is entered in the downhill, super-G and the team combined event
American downhill skier Lindsey Vonn says she has ruptured her left anterior cruciate ligament but is still "very hopeful" she can compete at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
The 41-year-old was airlifted to hospital in Switzerland on Friday after crashing in the final World Cup race before the Games.
The former Olympic champion said her knee feels "stable, strong and is not swollen" and she feels "confident" she will make the women's downhill event in Cortina on Sunday.
"This is obviously not what I hoped for. I have been working really hard to come into these Games in a much different position," she said in a media conference on Tuesday.
