Lindsey Vonn Announces Her Plan For Olympics After Tearing ACL

Lindsey Vonn's Olympic comeback hopes were seemingly dashed when the 41-year-old skier suffered a brutal crash during the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup last Friday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Afterwards, Vonn confirmed she injured her left knee but said she was holding out hope for competing in the upcoming Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

On Tuesday, the three-time Olympic medalist revealed that she “completely ruptured” her ACL and has bone bruising “plus meniscal damage.” However, Vonn said she still plans to race in Italy.
