Team USA announced that Olympian Lindsey Vonn is in "stable" condition after her terrifying wreck on Sunday morning.
Vonn, 41, crashed out of the Olympics on Sunday. She suffered a terrifying fall during the downhill competition on Sunday morning. Vonn lost control of her skis and crashed hard into the ice.
"Lindsey Vonn sustained an injury, but is in stable condition and in good hands with a team of American and Italian physicians," Team USA announced on Sunday afternoon.
Vonn, skiing on a torn ACL, suffered a brutal fall, but she's hopefully going to be OK.
"She'll be OK, but it's going to be a bit of a process," said Anouk Patty, chief of sport for U.S. Ski and Snowboard. "This sport's brutal, and people need to remember when they're watching [that] these athletes are throwing themselves down a mountain and going really, really fast."
