USA kiirlaskumise legend ja medalilootus, 41-aastane Lindsey Vonn kukkus rängalt täna pühapäeval, 8. veebruaril Milano Cortina olümpial, nii et ta viidi mäe pealt minema kopteriga.

Kommentaatorid pidasid kukkumise põhjuseks põlvevigastust, aga see ei pruukinud nii olla.

Piltidelt tuleb välja, et tema parem käsi takerdus rajatähisesse, mis lõi ta suurel kiirusel tasakaalust välja.

USA arstide väitel murdus naisel sääreluu. Talle tehti haiglas operatsioon.

Siin on pildid, allpool video:

Legend Lindsey Vonn appears to have clipped the flag with her right hand near the top of the course. That spun her to the right. Her knee didn’t give out. IMO. pic.twitter.com/gRE6SJ0JIM

Bei den ZDF-Kommentatoren fröhliches Gelächter, während Lindsey Vonn schwer verletzt und vor Schmerzen schreiend mit dem Helikopter abtransportiert wird. Statt das empathisch zu kommentieren, freut sich das ZDF-Team über die deutsche Leistung: “Gibt auch gute Nachrichten…”… pic.twitter.com/hKEXujT6TE
