Lindsey Vonn suffered a serious accident at the Olympic Games, being transported by helicopter to the hospital.

Lindsey Vonn, a 13th competitor in the ski competition at Cortina d'Ampezzo, suffered a serious accident on the Olympia delle Tofane slope, where she has won a record number of 12 World Cups. Vonn collided her shoulder with a gate, and her left leg, which has no functional ligament, completely gave out. Doctors quickly provided first aid, and she was airlifted to the hospital, which led to the competition being interrupted. Two Olympic champions, including Tina Maze, mentioned that Vonn took too many risks considering the recent difficulties she has faced. Vonn had a good training session, recording the third fastest time in Saturday's race, while her teammate Breezy Johnson achieved the fastest time.
