Lindsey Vonn's Pal Reacts Emotionally to Her Olympics Mishap

Lindsey Vonn's friend Chemmy Alcott became emotional watching Vonn crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics during the women's downhill event.

Alcott expressed her shock and sadness at seeing Vonn injured on the slope and not moving, calling it a nightmare.

Vonn, aged 41, crashed just 13 seconds into her run, screaming in pain due to a torn ACL sustained nine days earlier in Switzerland.

She was airlifted off the course and later reported to be in stable condition under the care of American and Italian physicians.

Before the Olympics, Vonn faced criticism for competing despite her injuries and age, responding to online comments about her torn ACL.

Vonn, a three-time Olympic medalist, decided to undergo knee replacement surgery following a series of injuries in her ski racing career.

Despite retiring in 2019, Vonn aimed to make a competitive comeback at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.
