Summary
Lindsey Vonn, a 41-year-old Olympic gold medalist and American alpine ski racer, completed her first women’s downhill training run at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, just a week after tearing her ACL in a World Cup race. She wore a brace on her left knee and successfully finished the 1.6-mile track in 1:40.33. Vonn has a record 12 World Cup wins in Cortina, including six in the downhill, and is determined to manage the injury and compete in the games.

And why not? She’s Lindsey Vonn, after all.
She’s got this.
Original Observation: This is a Lindsey Vonn moment, where everyone knows she’ll find a way to make it happen.
