Overview
- At a Cortina press conference, Vonn said an MRI showed a complete ACL tear with meniscal damage and bone contusions in her left knee.
- She tested skiing with a knee brace and reported stability, planning to attempt the downhill on Sunday, the team combined on Tuesday, and the super-G on Thursday if evaluations remain favorable.
- Team medical staff continue daily assessments, and coach Aksel Lund Svindal has expressed cautious optimism as official training begins this week.
- The injury followed a crash in Friday’s World Cup downhill at Crans‑Montana; she was treated on course, evacuated by helicopter, and the race was later canceled.
- Returning from a multi‑year retirement, Vonn has two wins and seven podiums this season and targets a venue where she owns 12 World Cup victories.
