Lindsey Vonn has to wait to test injured knee after Olympics training run canceled

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn will have to wait to test her knee in a race-like setting.

Vonn had drawn the first bib for Thursday's training, the first of three official runs ahead of Sunday's downhill. But organizers canceled it a short time later due to the snow that's been falling all day and a forecast that calls for a mix of snow and rain Thursday.

There are still training runs scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Vonn said Wednesday she plans to race at the 2026 Winter Olympics despite a torn ACL and meniscus damage in her left knee. She suffered the injuries in a crash on Jan. 30 in the last downhill before the Olympics.

After several days of extensive therapy, Vonn tried skiing Tuesday. Though she said it felt good, the true test would come in training.
