Alpine Skiing-Vonn Can Win a Medal, Says Coach Svindal

Lindsey Vonn tested her injured left knee with a 1:40.33 downhill run at the Olympic training despite a ruptured ACL and meniscus damage, aiming to compete Sunday.

  • On Feb. 6, 2026, Lindsey Vonn, three-time Olympic medalist, completed a downhill training run at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina, finishing in 1:40.33 to applause.
  • Vonn suffered a serious knee injury and related damage, tearing her ACL and sustaining bone bruising and meniscus damage on January 30, 2026, in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, after winning two recent World Cup downhills to reach 84 career wins.
  • After thick fog interrupted the session, training was paused for a fog delay of about an hour before Germany's Emma Aicher returned and Federica Brignone said the course was in good shape.
  • After finishing the run, Lindsey Vonn posted Instagram photos, wearing a heavy knee brace and captioning `Normal downhill day & Delayed.`
  • Sunday's women's downhill medal race is set for 5:30 a.m. ET, with the athlete attempting a comeback after two recent World Cup downhill wins and 84 career victories.
