Yes, the U.S. Olympic Ski Team may have alternates,

You're wrong again.

"In high-level competitive ski racing (such as the Olympics), individual spots are earned through specific qualification points, meaning there are no designated alternates to replace an injured skier

If a qualified athlete is injured and cannot compete, that specific spot on the team is generally lost rather than filled by another skier"

" Injury Decisions: Athletes with injuries (e.g., torn ACL) may still choose to compete if cleared by medical staff, or they may withdraw, leaving that spot empty.

Therefore, a team cannot simply replace an injured, qualified skier with a new, unqualified athlete."

Yea, facts are a funny thing.

I showed you were wrong before, but I'll try one more time. There are alternates. She was scheduled for more events .

Lindsey Vonn’s place in the Olympic downhill will likely be filled by another top contender, but specific names have not been confirmed. The U.S. Ski Team will assess the situation and announce a replacement based on current rankings and performance.

So many things you state as facts are just not true.
