Vonn Crashes, Johnson Wins Gold at Milano Cortina

American skier Lindsey Vonn crashed during the downhill race at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics on Sunday, seconds after starting, after deciding to compete despite a fully ruptured ACL. The incident, which occurred after Vonn lost control and hit her head, resulted in her being airlifted from the course. In a bittersweet turn of events, teammate Breezy Johnson secured Team USA's first gold medal of the games in the women's downhill race.

Vonn, 41, had come out of retirement to compete in the Olympics. According to CBS News, she had confirmed the ACL rupture but expressed confidence in her ability to complete the race with a knee brace. However, seconds into the race, she appeared to clip a flag, lost control, and crashed.

Johnson, 30, took the lead early in the race, flying down the Olympia delle Tofana course in 1:36.10. This victory marked her first Olympic medal and made her the second American woman to win the gold in downhill skiing, the first being Vonn. Emma Aicher of Germany and Sofia Goggia of Italy completed the podium.

In other news, "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a video on Saturday pleading for the return of their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen on January 31. In the video, Guthrie stated, "We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay." Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie, 84, was abducted from her home.

Additionally, anticipation is building for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show performance. According to CBS News, Petra Rivera-Rideau, an associate professor of American studies at Wellesley College, said, "One thing about Bad Bunny is that he is a master at the art of surprise." Mike Alfaro, the creator of Millennial Lotería, believes Bad Bunny may use the performance to send a political message.

Finally, in Texas, police responded to a shooting on December 23, 2023, in Friendswood. Bodycam footage shows Connor Hilton, 17, admitting to shooting two people.
