Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Team USA's Lindsey Vonn remains on track to ski in the 2026 Winter Olympics, despite tearing the ACL in her left knee, she told reporters Tuesday.
Vonn sustained the knee injury and was airlifted from a World Cup competition Friday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. She said later that day that her "Olympic dream is not over."
The 2020 gold medalist echoed that sentiment Tuesday in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy.
"Considering how my knee feels, I feel stable," Vonn said. "I feel strong. My knee is not swollen. With the help of a knee brace, I am confident I can compete on Sunday."
Vonn said examinations revealed bone bruising and meniscal damage, in addition to a "completely ruptured" ACL.
