The news of Lindsey Vonn's skiing crash at the last World Cup event before the Olympics came as a shock on Friday.
The Opening Ceremonies are just more than a week away. It's brutal timing, to be sure.
Vonn, though, is maintaining an upbeat spirit after the apparent left knee injury she sustained.
She took to Instagram to share a message to her fans and try to maintain confidence.
"I crashed today in the downhill race in Switzerland and injured my left knee," Vonn wrote. "I am discussing the situation with my doctors and team and will continue to undergo further exams.
"This is a very difficult outcome one week before the Olympics... But if there's one thing I know how to do, it's a comeback."

Vonn, 41, had previously retired after the 2018 Olympics, and she had her right knee partially replaced in April 2019. But then she came back to the sport.
"My Olympic dream is not over. Thank you for all of the love and support. I will give more information when I have it," Vonn added. "Thank you to all the medical staff who helped me today. I am grateful for all the incredible help I received."
Vonn concluded her message with the best inspiration she's got right now, a Yogi-ism.
"It's not over until it's over," Vonn wrote.
Fans of the United States skiing legend will hope she's right.
If it was already improbable for her to be competing at the 2026 Olympics, now it's even more so. Vonn has a chance to write an incredible story if she can get on the slopes in Italy.
