Ungrateful athletes, who are paid and supported by taxpayer funds, will get a big surprise when Trump cuts that funding. Separately, quite a few people questioned if Vonn actually had a torn ACL which is ironic as now, apparently, she has a broken leg.

Team USA Stuns Italy in Curling Semifinal for Olympic Final Spot.
Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin from Duluth, Minnesota, pulled off a dramatic semifinal upset over defending champions Italy in mixed doubles curling at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics. Tied entering the eighth end, Dropkin set up with a double takeout, and Thiesse sealed the 9-8 win with her game-winner, marking the U.S.'s first Olympic final and guaranteed medal in the event. The duo, who train while holding full-time jobs, now face Sweden's sibling team Isabella and Rasmus Wranå on Tuesday after beating them earlier in round-robin play.

apparently, she has a broken leg.

Lindsey Vonn has complex tibia fracture, needs multiple surgeries.​

Lindsey Vonn said Monday in a post to Instagram that she suffered a complex tibia fracture "that will require multiple surgeries to fix properly" when she crashed in the downhill Sunday.
Vonn raced the downhill despite having torn the ACL in her left knee nine days earlier in another crash.
"I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever," she wrote.
She added that she has "no regrets."
"Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself. I also knew that racing was a risk. It always was and always will be an incredibly dangerous sport," she wrote.
Vonn's father said earlier Monday that she would no longer race if he had any influence over her decision.
"She's 41 years old, and this is the end of her career," Alan Kildow said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it."
Kildow and the rest of Vonn's family -- a brother and two sisters -- have been with Vonn while she is being treated at a hospital in Treviso, Italy, following her injury and helicopter evacuation from the course in Cortina d'Ampezzo on Sunday.
The hospital late Sunday released a statement saying Vonn had undergone surgery on her left leg, and the U.S. Ski Team said she was in stable condition.
Vonn will not return to the Olympics to cheer on teammates or for anything else, Kildow said.

Team USA Earns Historic Silvers in Cross-Country and Freeski at Milano Cortina 2026.
In the men's sprint classic at Tesero, 26-year-old Vermonter Ben Ogden clocked 3:40.61 for second place behind Norway's gold medalist Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, marking the first U.S. men's Olympic cross-country medal since Bill Koch's silver in 1976—another Vermonter from the same youth league. Alex Hall, the Salt Lake City defending champion from Beijing 2022, scored 81.75 on his best run to take silver behind Norway's Birk Ruud in freeski slopestyle at Livigno. These Day 4 podiums highlight growing U.S. depth in Nordic and freestyle events amid the Dolomites.
