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 moment that sent shockwaves through the alpine skiing world, 41-year-old American star Lindsey Vonn crashed heavily during the women’s downhill World Cup race on January 30, 2026, injuring her left knee and forcing the event’s cancellation after just six starters. Vonn, wearing the red bib as the discipline leader and a pre-race favorite, lost control shortly after landing a jump in the second sector of the Mont Lachaux course.

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 published on January 29, 2026, the 30-year-old American skiing star described how the couple supported one another during overlapping periods of “survival mode” following their respective crashes.

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.
