ski_itJR This is a huge bummer. I hope she is able to make a full recovery Olympics or not. I am going to be in Kitzbuhel during the Olympics and I was really looking forward to seeing her ski from one of the ski apres bars. https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/olympics/lindsey-vonn-crash-milan-cortina-olympics-rcna256670
lotsoskiing Not done yet. We’ll see what the verdict is in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed, but the fall was awkward and her knee was not in a great position.
tedede They airlift every injury off the course regardless of severity. She was in a harness, not a Stokes basket so I hope the injury isn’t as bad as people suspect. FWIW, they don’t even bring them into the helicopter. She was surrounded by three flight medics in air.
obienick That’s not true. Many injuries are not airlifted like Mikaela’s puncture or Vlhova’s tib plateau fracture. Vonn ruptured her ACL, bone bruise, and partial meniscous tear (which could have predated the accident).
ski_it He might have meant from that course…er…I forgot again, I’m not supposed to speak for him. Well for me that heli ride would have scare the b’ Jesus out of me. Compound fracture? No thanks I’ll just crawl down the hill. I’m afraid of heights don’t you know. Go Team USA!!
skelley19 Wild that she is still attempting to compete with a ruptured ACL. I wish her the best and hope she can hold it together. What a story is she can pull it off.
