After a week of hospitalization and four intense surgeries following a catastrophic crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics, a major new update on American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn’s condition has emerged.
On February 8, the 41-year-old suffered a serious crash just 13 seconds into her run during the women’s downhill and was airlifted to Ca’ Foncello Hospital in Treviso, sparking fears of leg amputation.
The new details have triggered intense debate online, with some critics questioning her decision to compete at all, given that she reportedly ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) just nine days before the crash.
