林赛·沃恩周二证实，尽管上周在一次事故中左膝前交叉韧带（ACL）撕裂，她仍计划参加2026年意大利冬奥会。
41岁的沃恩在新闻发布会上表示，她仍在计划参赛，尽管登上领奖台的几率有所降低。沃恩称，在发布会前她进行了滑雪训练，并且很高兴自己”甚至有机会尝试”这项运动。
沃恩还被诊断出存在骨挫伤（她表示这在ACL撕裂中很常见）和”一些半月板损伤”，尽管医生不确定这些伤势是”先前存在的还是由这次事故引起的”。
“我感觉情况很糟，但直到我亲眼看到核磁共振成像结果，我才抱有希望。”沃恩说，”但我没有哭。我没有偏离我的计划。过去通常会有一个时刻，你会崩溃，意识到事情的严重性，意识到自己的梦想正在溜走。但这次没有。我不会让这个机会溜走。我会去参加比赛。就这么定了。”
沃恩将于2月8日（周日）参加女子速降比赛。她在新闻发布会上表示，比赛中会佩戴护具。
她原本还计划参加超级大回转和新设立的团体混合项目。如果她赢得奖牌，她将成为冬奥会年龄最大的高山滑雪奖牌得主。此前，沃恩曾获得三枚奥运奖牌：2010年速降金牌和超级大回转铜牌，以及2018年速降铜牌。
周五的世界杯比赛中，沃恩在进行一个跳跃动作时失控，最终被安全网缠住在赛道上部。她接受了医疗救治并从事故现场离开，但被看到避免用左腿承重。周二，沃恩确认伤势位于左膝。
当天早些时候，另外两名选手在同一条赛道上发生事故。在沃恩发生事故后，比赛被取消。一名选手表示，能见度存在问题，且赛道有颠簸。

本赛季沃恩一直是女子速降项目的领先者，已获得两次胜利和三次登上领奖台的成绩。
在退役五年后，沃恩再次参赛。她的右膝植入了钛合金植入物。受伤后，她在Instagram上发文称自己的”奥运梦想尚未结束”。周二，沃恩再次表达了这一观点。
“这不是我第一次经历这种情况。让我对自己和我知道自己能做到的事情失去信心对我来说很难。我非常了解自己的身体。我对自己有高度的信心，别人是否认为没有ACL我就做不到，这对我来说无关紧要，但我仍然相信自己，这让我微笑。这让我自信，也让我快乐。”
奥运会女子滑雪比赛将在科尔蒂纳丹佩佐举行，沃恩在这里保持着12次世界杯胜利的纪录。
Lindsey Vonn says she plans to compete in Olympics despite ACL injury
February 3, 2026 / 11:20 AM EST / CBS News
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.
Vonn, 41, said in a press briefing that she was still planning to compete, even though her chances at ending up on the podium were diminished. Vonn said she had done a gone skiing before the briefing and was happy that she was “in a position to even try” the exercise.
Vonn said she was also diagnosed with bone bruising, which she said is common with an ACL tear, and “some meniscal damage,” though doctors are not sure if those injuries were “pre-existing or from the crash.”
“I had a feeling it was bad, but I held out hope until I saw the MRI in front of me,” Vonn said. “But I haven’t cried. I haven’t deviated from my plan. Normally, in the past, there’s always a moment where you break down and you realize the severity of things and that your dreams are slipping through your fingers. But I didn’t have that this time. I’m not letting this slip through my fingers. I’m gonna do it. End of story.”
Vonn is set to compete in the women’s downhill on Sunday, Feb. 8. She said in the news briefing she would wear a brace for the race.
Vonn was also planning on competing in super-G and the new team combined event. If she wins a medal, she will be the oldest alpine skier to do so at the Winter Olympics. Previously, Vonn has won three Olympic medals: Gold in downhill and bronze in super-G in 2010, and bronze in downhill in 2018.
Vonn had been landing a jump in a World Cup race on Friday when she lost control and ended up tangled in safety nets on the upper portion of the course. She received medical attention and walked away from the crash site, but was seen avoiding putting weight on her left leg. Vonn confirmed the injury was in her left knee on Tuesday.
Two other racers crashed on the same course earlier in the day. The race was cancelled after Vonn’s crash. One racer said visibility was a problem and that the course was bumpy.

Vonn has been the circuit’s leading downhiller this season with two victories and three podium finishes.
Vonn’s races and Olympic participation come after a five-year retirement. She is skiing with titanium implants in her right knee. After her injury, she posted on Instagram that her “Olympic dream is not over.” Vonn echoed that sentiment again Tuesday.
“This isn’t my first rodeo. It’s hard for me to lose faith in myself and what I know I’m capable of. I know my body very well. I have a high degree of confidence in myself, and it doesn’t matter to me if everyone thinks maybe I can’t do this with no ACL, but I still believe in myself and that makes me smile. That makes me confident, that makes me happy.”
Women’s skiing at the Olympics will be held in Cortina d’Ampezzo, where Vonn holds the record of 12 World Cup wins.
