Overview
- Vonn completed the official downhill training run in Cortina in 1:40.33 after a long fog delay, a day after heavy snowfall canceled the previous session.
- Finishing the run meets the Olympic requirement to start Sunday’s downhill, with a second practice slated for Saturday and evaluations continuing day to day.
- The 41-year-old is skiing with a ruptured left ACL from a Jan. 30 crash in Crans-Montana and says the knee feels stable with no swelling while using a brace.
- Her time placed her roughly mid‑pack, about 1.39 seconds off the fastest; coaches said her skiing looked “symmetrical” and suggested she could still be competitive.
- Decisions on entering the team combined and super‑G later next week remain open and will depend on how her knee responds after further training.
