Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy
—
Lindsey Vonn crashed in her run on Sunday, bringing her Olympic downhill dream to an end after coming into the Games with a “completely ruptured” ACL.
The American burst out of the start in the final but caught a gate with her right arm after just 13 seconds, sending her tumbling down the slope to a halt.
Total silence then fell across the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina d’Ampezzo, as medics attended to the three-time Olympic medalist.
The 41-year-old was then airlifted off the course as the crowd stood to applaud her.
The women’s downhill event is currently paused.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
