American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn crashed and sustained serious injury while competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Sunday, February 8, requiring a stay in the intensive care unit, despite Team USA initially describing her condition as “stable.”
Vonn had ruptured her ACL just nine days before Sunday’s event but chose to go all out in pursuit of glory at the prestigious competition.
The athlete, notably, was competing in Cortina following a six-year hiatus.
