Lindsey Vonn withdrew from Saturday’s World Cup super-G race in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, one day after her crash in the downhill race at the same venue, as her status for the upcoming Winter Olympics remains uncertain.

The American Alpine skiing star was forced to sit out after she lost her balance and fell early in the downhill race Friday. Vonn crashed into the netting and stayed there for several minutes before getting up and gingerly making her way down the hill, favoring her left leg and in visible discomfort.

“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to race today… wishing all my teammates a great race,” she wrote Saturday in a post on Instagram, along with a video of her crash.

The injury left Vonn’s status for the upcoming Winter Olympics in question. The women’s downhill in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, is scheduled for Feb. 8. Vonn, 41, is also set to compete in the team combined (Feb. 10) and super-G events (Feb. 12). She struck a determined tone in her first public comments after the crash Friday, saying her “Olympic dream is not over.”

Saturday’s post had no significant update on her Olympic hopes.

“Doing my best right now,” she wrote.

The Associated Press reported that Vonn’s coach, Chris Knight, said she was “preparing for Cortina.” The Athletic has reached out to Vonn to ask about her status.

Only six racers attempted Friday’s downhill, which was canceled due to poor visibility and conditions after Vonn’s fall. Three of those six racers crashed, including another in the same corner that took out Vonn. In Saturday’s super-G, even in brilliant sunshine, that turn swallowed up Germany’s Emma Aicher, a four-time World Cup winner.

Switzerland’s Malorie Blanc topped Saturday’s race for a meaningful first-ever World Cup win in front of home fans in the same town where a New Year’s fire at a local bar killed 40 and injured more than 100 others. Events around the race weekend were cut back, and racers wore black armbands to honor the victims. The 22-year-old Blanc is from nearby Ayent.

Italian star Sofia Goggia made her third super-G podium of the season, taking second, 0.18 seconds behind Blanc. American Breezy Johnson finished third, 0.36 back, for her first career World Cup super-G podium.

A men’s downhill scheduled for Sunday in Crans-Montana is the final pre-Olympic Alpine skiing event.

After injuries forced her into retirement in 2019, Vonn returned to Alpine skiing in November 2024. A knee replacement earlier that year left her feeling pain-free and planning a comeback to the sport’s top circuit. She made her World Cup return in December and swiftly became one of the best speed skiers in the world again, with three top-10s, including a podium finish at the year-end World Cup finals last March.

After an offseason of training, Vonn — whose 84 career World Cup wins are third on the career list, behind only American Mikaela Shiffrin (108) and Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark (86) — has been stellar this season. Vonn has won two downhills, including the season opener in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and has finished in the top four in all eight of her completed World Cup races. If she’s able to compete, she’ll be a gold-medal contender across all three of her Olympic events.

Vonn’s initial plan was to retire after the Olympics, but her success has her eyeing a brief extension. She’s leading the World Cup downhill standings and has said she’s planning to finish out the season in pursuit of one last crystal globe, the award given to season champions in each discipline. She has 20 career globes, including four overall titles and eight in downhill. There are three more World Cup stops after the Olympics.

On X, a prediction market account posted about how Vonn’s crash upended the betting odds for the Olympic speed races. “The public bet on the narrative, but physics had the final say,” the post said of her spill Friday.

“Physics had the final say?” Vonn replied. “No, I have the final say.”
