Lindsey Vonn Crashes, Airlifted Off Mountain at Olympics 2026

During the women’s downhill final at the Olympics in Cortina, Italy on February 8th, the skier crashed before reaching the first checkpoint. She screamed in pain for several minutes – the sound was even picked up by the broadcast – before medical staff arrived. They stabilized her on a stretcher and she was then airlifted off the course by helicopter.
