honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph. They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different

Anyone who’s ever tore their ACL knows for a fact that this is impossible. You literally cannot feel your muscle working if you tore your ACL. It’s 100% impossible to ski an Olympic downhill race with a torn ACL. Conclusion: she didn’t tear her ACL. She’s incredible but this is theatre.

And dusting skiers half her age it appears. Mercy.

*LINDSEY Vonn, if she's gonna hurl herself down a mountain at 80 miles an hour with no ACL I should at least spell her name correctly

Idk if you actually watched the whole training session…. But during a long weather hold we were treated to candid conversation from Breezy Johnson about chocolate banana bread (“it’s fire”), then Team USA rehearsing and then performing a dance routine

I love Vonn, so I say this with no hate towards her. I just want to point out that a woman competing with a LITERAL TITANIUM KNEE is fine but a trans woman racing would generate global headlines re "question about fairness" Just an observation

When i heard she’d torn the ACL I thought that was all she wrote

And she’s doing this at 41. I am also in my forties. Currently two weeks into a broken pinky toe. I can’t even jog yet.

Crazy enough Hines Ward, former UGA and Steelers great had torn his ACL in one knee as a child and played his whole college career without it. Didn't find out until a physical at the NFL combine.

I get it. My right leg is messed up because I played through injuries. My doctor no longer tries to tell me I need to rest when I'm injured.

She isn't the only one! I can't find the TikTok video right now but there is another American athlete competing sans ACL, too

Also she’s 40-something

Titanium? Sounds like a clanker to me

I covered a high school girl who completely tore her ACL in the season opener, then played the rest of the season. “Well, I figure I can’t injure it any more,” she said. Unassailable logic, that.
