Lindsey Vonn suffers heavy fall, airlifted ahead of Milan-Cortina 2026 | OneFootball

Lindsey Vonn was involved in a severe fall during an Alpine Skiing World Cup event in Crans Montana, Switzerland, and had to be airlifted to a medical center. The accident occurred ahead of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and led to the suspension of the competition.

The day was marked by several incidents within a few minutes, including the falls of Nina Ortlieb and Marte Monsen, in addition to the American skier's, which created an atmosphere of concern and cast doubt on the continuation of the scheduled program.

In Vonn's case, she lost control after a jump and crashed into the safety nets. Although she managed to complete the course, she showed discomfort in her left knee and was assisted by the medical team. Given the proximity of the Olympic event, it was decided to transfer her for more in-depth examinations.

Hours later, the athlete herself confirmed that she suffered a knee injury and will continue with medical evaluations. With a competitive return this season and several podiums achieved, her recovery will be crucial to determine if she will be able to participate in Milan-Cortina 2026.
