Lindsey Vonn's Olympic comeback is in doubt after a crash at the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in Switzerland on Friday. Vonn crashed during an early run and got up holding her right knee. She was able to ski down the mountain and across the finish line and went to the medical tent to be evaluated. Eventually, she was airlifted to a hospital.
Vonn, 41, last participated in the 2018 Olympics where she won bronze in the women's downhill. She first retired in 2019. She had her right knee replaced in 2024 before announcing her comeback for the Milan Cortina Games. In 2025 Vonn told Sports Illustrated, "I'm stronger than I was."
