""If my knee is not stable, I can't compete and at the moment, it is stable and it is strong," Vonn said during a virtual press conference from Cortina d'Ampezzo. "... So far so good but we have to take it day by day. But if it remains the way it is now, I think I'm pretty solid.""
""The Olympics are the only thing that I'm thinking about," Vonn said. "Every day my knee's gotten better and every day, we're discussing with the full medical team, doctors, physios, everyone.""
Lindsey Vonn tore her left anterior cruciate ligament in a crash at a World Cup event but remains focused on competing at the Milan-Cortina Olympics. She underwent a partial knee replacement in April 2024 and began a comeback that produced a World Cup podium in Sun Valley and a win in St. Moritz. Vonn reports her knee is currently stable and strong, and the full medical team is monitoring her progress daily. Surgery is not under consideration at the moment. Vonn intends to race the downhill and hopes to compete in the Super G and the team event.
