Lindsey Vonn: US alpine skier airlifted to hospital after crash

[Hyper Pogo in Craz]

I gotta say, if Vonn is still planning on going for gold despite that nasty crash and knee injury... I'm gonna be genuinely surprised if she makes it through the Olympics without another major mishap . Don't get me wrong, I love the girl's spirit and all, but 41 is not exactly spring chicken age to start dashing around on a downhill course again . She needs to take care of herself first and foremost before she thinks about putting her body through that kind of punishment . And what if this latest injury isn't just a minor tweak? What if it's something more serious...?

man... i'm so disappointed to hear about lindsey vonn's crash . she's been working towards this olympic dream for years and now this happens? i remember when she came back from her acl injury last season and won that world cup downhill title, it was like she was unstoppable . but now, with these injuries and the olympics just around the corner, it's hard to know what's gonna happen next .

i hope her team can get her in shape in time for the Olympics, i really do . and who knows, maybe this is a wake-up call for the sport to re-evaluate athlete safety . we need more protective measures in place to prevent these kinds of accidents from happening again . fingers crossed for lindsey, she's an inspiration to so many Americans and skiing fans around the world .
