Overview
- At a Feb. 3 news conference in Cortina, Vonn confirmed an MRI showed a complete ACL rupture in her left knee with bone bruising and meniscal damage.
- After several days of therapy and doctor consultations, she skied Tuesday wearing a brace and said her knee feels stable and is not swollen.
- Downhill training is scheduled to begin Thursday with daily evaluations, and she is targeting a start in Sunday’s Olympic downhill.
- Decisions on entering the super-G and the team combined will come after assessing how the knee responds to training and racing.
- The injury occurred Jan. 30 during a low-visibility World Cup downhill in Crans-Montana that saw multiple crashes and was canceled, halting a comeback season in which she led the downhill standings.
