Lindsey Vonn was able to get up and ski down after a crash in Are, Sweden, in the final super-G race of her career at the world championships.
“Everybody, cross your fingers or hold your thumbs. That didn’t look like a nice crash,” said Mikaela Shiffrin, who won the race, when interviewed over the public address system. “She went really hard into the fence. Hopefully, she is OK.”
