The remarkable return of Lindsey Vonn reached a key moment Sunday at the Winter Games, where the 41-year-old American was racing in the women's downhill on a badly injured left knee with hopes of her first Olympic gold medal since 2010.
Vonn was scheduled to be the 13th skier on the iconic Olympia delle Tofana course on a sunny day in Cortina below the jagged peaks of the Dolomites, a place where she has a record 12 World Cup wins and many treasured memories.
