U.S. skier Lindsey Vonn crashed and was airlifted Friday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, ending her final downhill race before the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Vonn will continue to undergo exams and will provide more information when she has it, but also said her “Olympic dream is not over.”Vonn was the third racer to crash in the downhill race at Crans-Montana, the final stop on the World Cup circuit before the Winter Olympics are set to begin next month.
Vonn lost control after landing a jump, and she skidded down the hill into the sideline nets. She was able to ski slowly down to the finish line by herself, at times seen holding her left knee. Afterward, she was airlifted off the course, and the race was called off.
