Heart breaking news. 3 time Olympic medal winner Lindsey Vonn hurt.

"MILAN — Lindsey Vonn’s magnificent comeback is over, in the most devastating way possible.

Starting 13th in a field of 36 for the women’s downhill, facing the dramatic 2,572-meter Olympia Delle Tofane course, pushing out of the gate at high noon, Vonn almost immediately clipped one of the course’s gates with her right shoulder. That was enough to send her spinning over a jump, twisting helplessly over her skis.

Far below, the crowd watched in stunned silence.

Vonn remained prone on the snow, her screams audible on camera in the immediate moments after the crash. Medical staff worked on her as the event was halted. Loaded onto a stretcher, a medical helicopter hovered above to carry her from the mountain — just as it did a little more than a week ago in Switzerland when she tore her ACL. Fifteen minutes after the crash, Vonn was lifted from the mountain and into the yellow helicopter high above."

Say a prayer for Lindsey Vonn's fast recovery that clip I saw was so tough to watch, she took a bad fall.

You play with fire eventually you'll get burned. Have you seen how dangerous those skiing events are.

Just a sad thing to happen to a lovely woman and great athlete.

I hope Tiger Woods at least called her to wish her a fast recovery.

That’s not going to change her medical condition

Any other major drama?

How is Vonn doing?

The Olympics do not seem to have hurt my joins, hope the Summer ones are not going to slow down any new joins.
