Based on the context of her 2026 Olympic comeback—where Lindsey Vonn competed at age 41 with a partial knee replacement and subsequently a ruptured ACL—she was not technically “replaced” by an alternate, but she was competing in a spot that could have been filled by younger, healthier athletes.” Google AI. The lady should have allowed someone else to replace her at the Olympics after her injury!
Frankly surprising that the US Olympic Committee didn’t step in and disqualify her from competing but you imagine that she would have been a big draw like her ex-boyfriend was after his own crash. Other deserving up and coming skiers would have loved the opportunity to try, dream and jump also. No such luck!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
