CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn crashed in her final downhill before the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday.
Vonn lost control when landing a jump in a World Cup race and ended up tangled in the safety nets.
She eventually got up after receiving medical attention and walked away gingerly, taking weight off her left knee and using her poles to steady herself. She then clicked her skis back on but stopped to check her left knee.
The 41-year-old Vonn has been the circuit's leading downhiller this season, having returned last season after a partial right knee titanium replacement.
