Vonn battled to reach the start line despite the serious injury to her left knee which dominated the opening days of the Milan Cortina Games.

Legendary skier Lindsey Vonn on Sunday was airlifted off a mountain in Italy for the second time since she arrived for the Olympics after she broke her leg during a downhill race.
