The star crashed immediately – and screamed out his pain.
– I am in shock, says former great skater Viktoria Rebensburg in Eurosport’s broadcast.
With a week to go until the Olympics, Lindsey Vonn crashed badly in Crans-Montana. At a press conference with days to go before the downhill race in the Olympics, the American announced that the cruciate ligament was off – but that she would still be on the starting line.
Said and done.
There were nasty pictures immediately when Lindsey Vonn crashed – and screamed out her pain. At the same time, it was completely quiet up at the Tofane ski arena.
– No, no no, exclaims HBO Max expert André Myhrer.
– I am in shock. The crash looked terrible. But we knew that she would either risk everything and crash or win a medal, says former great skater Viktoria Rebensburg in Eurosport’s broadcast.
Family shock
The 41-year-old was left crying in the snow while writhing in pain while she was helped – and a person came out with the stretcher.
Vonn was heavily wrapped and then taken away in a helicopter.
Among others, Lindsey Vonn’s family were present, who stood and watched in complete shock. Even Snoop Dogg, who was in the stands, looked downcast.
The expert Pernilla Wiberg was noticeably affected by the situation and cried herself in SVT’s broadcast.
– You don’t want to see this as a parent, it’s tough. What made me burst was looking at Alan Kildow, the father here who is there, says Wiberg.
Teammate Mikaela Shiffrin also shows her support on social media. There, she has posted an emoji with a broken heart, and praying hands.
