Lindsey Vonn, the renowned American skier, has taken to social media to update her fans after a severe crash during the Women's Downhill at the Winter Olympics. Vonn, who was competing for Team USA, suffered a ruptured ACL in her left knee just days before the Games, yet continued to participate. Unfortunately, during a high-speed run, she lost her balance after colliding with a gate and crashed, an incident that was viewed live by millions around the world and resulted in her crying out in pain.

Following the incident, Vonn was airlifted to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery. Reports indicate that she fractured her femur in the crash, and after an initial medical procedure, she required further treatment involving external fixation to stabilize the fracture. Due to the severity of her injuries and for her privacy, Vonn has been moved to intensive care, where she is expected to recover under close medical supervision.

Despite the traumatic experience, Vonn's message on social media reflects her resilience and determination. Her willingness to share updates about her health underscores the support from her fans and the ski community. As she rests and recuperates in intensive care, the ski world awaits further news on her recovery and any future plans she may have following this unfortunate incident.
