MILAN — The 2026 Winter Olympics rolled into another packed day Sunday, Feb. 8, with all eyes on Lindsey Vonn. But the excitement quickly turned to concern when Vonn suffered a major crash in the women's downhill. The 41-year-old was competing with a torn ACL.
Vonn caught a gate with her right arm, which caused her to spin around. Her legs went akimbo and her weight was too far back on her skis to recover. She tumbled on her side and then somersaulted. The crash happened about 13 to 14 seconds into the run. Vonn could be heard wailing in pain, and a helicopter was on the scene to transport her for care.
Later Sunday, the figure skating team competition will be settled with the free skate for the pairs, men and women. Notably, Ilia Malinin is skating the men's portion for the Americans.
Elsewhere, there are medals up for grabs in men's cross-country skiing, women's and men's parallel giant slalom, biathlon, men's speed skating and men's luge.
