Vonn Skis On! Injury Can't Stop Olympic Bid

Lindsey Vonn, 41, announced Tuesday that she intends to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Italy, despite recently suffering a severe knee injury. According to NPR News, the American skier "completely ruptured" the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee during a recent race.

Vonn's announcement comes nearly seven years after her retirement in 2019, marking a remarkable comeback story. BREAKING: NPR News reported that Vonn's participation is "against all odds," highlighting the significance of her decision to compete despite the injury.

The upcoming Winter Olympics, scheduled for February 2026, are generating considerable buzz, according to NPR News. The Games will feature the return of iconic athletes like Vonn, the debut of NHL players, and the addition of new sports. These Games also mark a return to in-person spectators across a vast area of northern Italy after COVID-19 restrictions in Beijing.

BREAKING: NPR News indicated that Vonn is determined to race in the downhill event on Sunday, February 8th, although her medal hopes may have been "slightly diminished" due to the crash. Vonn had reached the podium in seven World Cup races this winter, showcasing her competitive form prior to the injury, according to NPR News.
