Lindsey Vonn left limping after crash in final downhill race before Milan Cortina Olympics
CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn crashed in her final downhill before the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday and was left limping and keeping weight off her left knee — a troublesome development in the 41-year-old's spectacular skiing comeback. Vonn — who was expected to be one of the stars of the Olympics but now faces uncertainty over her status — lost control when landing a jump in a World Cup race held in difficult conditions with low visibility and ended up tangled in the safety nets on the upper portion of the course. Vonn eventually got up after receiving medical attention and walked away gingerly, taking weight off her left knee and using her poles to steady herself.
