Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Looked like she flew too far in the jump, landed on a flatter section and got caught out by the impact

I've been watching that video again and again and I can't work our what happened to her right leg. I think my brain is going into some sort of defensive mode and not letting me focus on it as it looks so painfully unnatural.

As she landed her right ski seemed to collapse onto the inside edge... inturn her ankle seems to collapse whcih then chucked her knee down onto the piste and caused her to flip.
Watched it over and over on Sky+.
I'd say knee injury caused by th eimpact and flip rather than the landing.

Look at the position of her knee just before she gets flipped. That has to be serious.

I knew an Army helicopter pilot who said that he had hundreds of "excellent" landings and one "good" landing. He defined "good" as "Everyone lived to tell the tale" (he parked the helicopter upside down in a German wood).

Lindsey Vonn is going to be able to tell the tale.

Oww that's gota hurt, as flangesax, says looks like the right ski maybe caught an edge or went into a rut something like that, which then caused the crash, really hope it's not as bad as it looked, but the fact that they helicoptered her off suggests it's pretty serious,

Apparently the doctor on the slope who treated her has said he suspects a broken shin bone and possibly other damage to the leg which is why the helicopter was called

looking at that video, whatever was broken, was broken before the flip i think. Looks horrible and painful and almost with a doubt the end of her season at the very least.

No broken bones, but that's pretty much all what is left of her knee... everything else is gone. All possible ligaments in her knee are thorn, so definitely not nice thing Sad

Yeah definitely... I just heard start-stop up on course and few minutes saw later chopper coming, but no further info until some 10mins later. So at that time it was only two options... Maze crashed and Lindsey was yellow flagged (I was actually afraid of this one more, since Tina went into complete fog... so no goddamn photos of World champion!!!, except some foggy shi**t), or Maze made it to bottom, and Lindsey crashed some 500m below my position.

News on Lindsey: according to the doctors she has no fractures, no broken bones but has a very complex knee injury. Lindsey has left the hospital. She and her team will now discuss how to proceed and where to undergo surgery... Season is over, but it's not the end of her career. We think of you Lindsey and wish you a speedy recovery!!! Best wishes from the entire HEAD Team!

usa ski team are saying there is a fracture, but i am no medic so don't know how bad it is.

SCHLADMING, Austria (Feb. 5) - Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) crashed during the opening day super G at the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships. Vonn had posted the fastest first interval and was having a strong run when she went down off a jump midway down the course. She was immediately attended to by race medical officials and transported by helicopter, as is standard protocol, to a nearby hospital where she was evaluated and released. According to U.S. Ski Team Medical Director Kyle Wilkens, Vonn suffered a torn ACL and MCL in her right knee and a lateral tibial plateau fracture. She will be out for the remainder of this season but is expected to return to racing for the 2013-14 Audi FIS World Cup season and the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.

Ouch so essentially she has a broken knee joint as that type of fracture basically is where the top of the tibia is shearing off, that combined with ACL and MCL damage sounds like it will take a lot of work to repair

"Evaluated and released"? Seems very soon to be thrown out. She'll be evacuated back to the US for treatment, presumably? With plenty of pain killers, no doubt. Sad

From google images it seems that type of fracture often requires plating. Looks nasty.

My son got a smashed ankle (toboganning) plated in Innsbruck - and a very good job they did, too, according to the local orthopods, when he got back.

Tibial plateau fractures are I understand it quite common in hyperextension injuries. Not necessarily something that needs plating if just hairline. I've done it myself and couldn't be seen under X ray just under MRI.
