Lindsey Vonn announces sad news week after her crash

Lindsey Vonn announced some sad news on Wednesday, just a week after she crashed while skiing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Vonn suffered a fractured leg during a crash while competing in the women’s downhill event at Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Keep in mind that on top of breaking her leg, Vonn suffered a torn ACL during a World Cup event not long before then.

As if the injuries weren’t enough, Vonn is dealing with a death. The 41-year-old wrote in a social media post that her dog, Leo, had died on Feb. 9.

“Leo passed away. The day after my crash I said goodbye to by my big boy as I laid in my hospital bed. Been some of the hardest days of my life and still have not begun to process his passing… I will always love you Leo,” Vonn wrote on social media.
