@cbsnews: Lindsey Vonn confirmed Tuesday that she plans to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy despite rupturing her left anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, in a crash last week. CBS News' Seth Doane is in Cortina, Italy ahead of the Olympics and spoke to Vonn's Team USA teammates. #olympics #skiing #milan #lindseyvonn

MicarEire :

the knee is so unstable....she's going to cause so much more damage.

Beachluvr :

I didn’t think you could walk with a torn acl the football players take 6 months off

Laney <3 :

For those calling her selfish, imagine you train all season to make it to the Olympics and that being the goal- those that are dedicated, have the drive, and strength to push through the pain for a sport you love would understand, this isn’t about letting someone else have the chance- SHE got herself back to the Olympics, through ALL injuries she has sustained, she EARNED this spot and has no reason to quit now unless absolutely necessary, she got the medical clearance and she has self confidence- let the girl live the life she wants ❤️she deserved it

hhyooper :

Skiers in control do not crash

… :

She was gonna tumble down the mountain regardless. Can do that with or without any ligaments in your knee

BeeRabbit :

she didn't tear her ACL. that's how 💀

leaf :

My boyfriend has been living life for the past 8 years without and ACL and he’s been fine lol. Me on the other hand, I have a fully intact left knee yet it dislocates ALL the time

Shelbs // ACL Recovery ❤️‍🩹 :

I skied with a torn ACL this past December and did no further damage to my knee- it depends on the person and on the year

kjk2155 :

A brace. John Elway played his entire career with no ACL.

Massimo Melo :

This aged well

P Dub ❌️ :

Christie :

She should never have been released for competition. wait for the lawsuits.

Julie Suazo :

@lovinlifenow :

Lindsey is a baddie that’s why!

🧸 :

Strong muscular structures. That’s how

David S :

I asked a knee surgeon friend of mine and he says it’s impossible to even walk properly without acl

justb :
