Olympic dream 'not over', Vonn says after crash
US speed queen Lindsey Vonn insisted her dream of competing at next week's Winter Olympics was "not over" despite a crash during the Crans-Montana downhill on Friday.
"I crashed today in the downhill race in Switzerland and injured my left knee," the 41-year-old American said on social media.
"My Olympic dream is not over."
Three training runs for the women's Olympic downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo are scheduled on consecutive days between February 5-7, with the medal event slated for February 8.
Vonn added: "I am discussing the situation with my doctors and team and will continue to undergo further exams.
"This is a very difficult outcome one week before the Olympics... but if there's one thing I know how to do, it's a comeback.
"It's not over until it's over..."
Vonn, the 2010 Olympic downhill champion and one of the most recognisable faces in world sport, lost control on a turn and skidded out into the safety netting during Friday's race, the final downhill before the February 6-22 Milan-Cortina Olympics.
While she was able to ski down to the bottom of the Swiss piste after her crash, she appeared to be in great discomfort from her left knee, stopping several times.
After embracing teammate Jacqueline Wiles in the finish area, seemingly in tears, Vonn was promptly evacuated by helicopter for medical checks.
