Vonn has been on the US ski team all season and finished in the top three in 5 downhill events this World Cup season. Proving she's one of the best in the world and her spot on the US ski team isn't a fluke.

All of that became irrelevant when she tore her ACL last week.

This was to be her spotlight interview for a sportscasting job - and she passed it with flying colors.

...and screams.

NBC executives are just loving this ratings bonanza.

"If it bleeds, it leads."

Now if they could only egg on one of the female skaters to have another one clubbed in the knee Gillooly style, it would rain money.

There are other examples of downhill skiers performing with torn ACLs. Query AI and you will see several.

Not surprised, she should’ve given her spot up after the ACL injury
Ego over country
Hope she finally retires

All of that became irrelevant when she tore her ACL last week.

The injury had nothing to do with her losing control when she was thrown backward going over that bump.

What's with all the hate anyway? It seems to be coming from jealous a-holes who have never excelled at anything in their lives, except maybe bitching, let alone competing at the highest level against the best in the world.

And for what's it's worth,going into the olympics, Vonn was the #1 downhill racer in the world, with 400 pts, compared to the second place holder with 256 pts. And on Friday, had the 11th fastest training run despite her injury.

So stop it with your nonsense. You know nothing about this sport.
