CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn crashed in her final downhill race before the Winter Olympics on Friday and was airlifted from the course for medical checks, a troubling turn for the 41-year-old U.S. ski star just a week before the Milan Cortina Games.
Including super-G, Vonn had completed eight World Cup races this season and finished on the podium in seven of them.
Women’s skiing at the Olympics will be held in Cortina d’Ampezzo, where Vonn holds the record of 12 World Cup wins.
Ortlieb crashed on top in the same area as Vonn and Monsen hit the nets just before the finish area and had to be taken away in a sled.
The finish area stripped of color and the usual sponsor adverts.
