"I've always gotten back up," Lindsey Vonn told reporters on the eve of the Winter Olympics at Milano Cortina 2026. The skiing legend is battling another injury - a torn ACL - following a crash last week in Switzerland, but remains determined to race in what would be her fifth career Games. "I will do everything in my power to be in that starting gate," she said. Vonn is the focus of our first official podcast from MiCo 2026, with competition underway - and the iconic Opening Ceremony set for Friday, 6 February. Olympics.com podcast host Nick McCarvel is joined by colleague Alessandro Poggi from Cortina to get further insight on Vonn's injury and the challenges it presents - while also taking a vibe check on the Italian mountain town, which is hosting women's Alpine skiing, curling and the sliding sports - bobsleigh, skeleton and luge.
