International Ski and Snowboard Federation president Johan Eliasch called Vonn "incredibly unlucky" after her dramatic tumble in the women's downhill final

Lindsey Vonn knows the Olympic downhill course better than anyone. She’s won a record 12 World Cup races on the Olympia delle Tofane track and has a total of 20 podium results there stretching back to her very first on the entire circuit in 2004.

The Olympian sustained a complex tibia fracture during the women's downhill.

U.S. alpine ski icons Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn may not have enjoyed the success they expected at the 2026 Winter Olympics, but they are still celebrating the triumphs of their American teammates with full enthusiasm.

Italian skiing star Sofia Goggia, one of Lindsey Vonn's closest friends, said that she and Vonn had texted a day earlier.

Picabo Street gave Lindsey Vonn her old gloves to wear before Vonn's downhill race. But seeing her one-time protégé wearing bib No. 13 made Street very worried.
