Lindsey Vonn crashed during her final downhill race ahead of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday and was airlifted from the course for medical checks.

Vonn — the third skier to crash in the World Cup race in Crans-Montana — lost control when landing a jump and ended up tangled in the safety nets on the upper portion of the course.

The American skiier was attended to my medical personnel for several minutes after appearing to injure her left knee.
