Legendary American skier Lindsey Vonn reminded the world why she’s called the “Comeback Queen” after a frightening crash in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, on January 30, 2026—yet she’s refusing to let it end her pursuit of another Olympic moment. Competing in the final women’s downhill World Cup before the Milano Cortina Games (opening February 6), Vonn lost control post-jump, crashing hard into the nets. The 41-year-old stayed down momentarily in pain, then skied down favoring her left knee before being airlifted for evaluation. The race was halted and canceled amid unsafe conditions and several early incidents. In a heartfelt Instagram statement, Vonn…

Just one week before the Opening Ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, U.S. skiing icon Lindsey Vonn faced a major setback when she crashed violently in the women’s downhill at Crans-Montana, Switzerland, on January 30, 2026. The 41-year-old lost balance after a compression jump early in her run, tumbling into the protective netting at speed. She lay motionless briefly before rising, limping noticeably while holding her left knee, and skiing gingerly to the finish area. Airlifted off the mountain for immediate medical checks, Vonn was later confirmed to have injured the knee. Poor conditions—low visibility and incoming weather—contributed…

In a recent Instagram post, Vonn shared stunning slow-motion footage of herself gliding down the slopes with effortless grace, set to lively Afro Soul music. Overlaid text read “On to find the penguin” and “Go your own path,” while her caption declared: “I’m coming for you, little guy!! ‘But why?’… Because…

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, alpine skiing superstar Mikaela Shiffrin opened up about the bittersweet reality awaiting her and fiancé Aleksander Aamodt Kilde at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics: the couple will likely compete for gold without ever seeing each other race live. The two-time Olympic gold medalist (and record-holding World Cup winner with over 100 victories) explained that Olympic organizers have split the alpine events across separate venues. Women’s races, including Shiffrin’s signature technical disciplines, will take place in Cortina d’Ampezzo at the iconic Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre. Meanwhile, men’s events—where Kilde excels in downhill and super-G—will be…
