I feel like hearing her story and just like the redemption of her first fall and like fighting to come back to the Olympics this year, I mean, I feel so sad for her and I'm sure we're not alone in that feeling." 5. 00:30 SOUNDBITE (English) Sam Bloomberg, U.S. fan: "Yeah, I mean, to fight back and tear your ACL a week ago, persevere and push through to come back and to have an outcome like that. It's obviously not what anybody wanted, but hopefully she's okay. And there's more to all of this than the competition, but hopefully she is all right and she's all right.” 6. 00:47 SOUNDBITE (English) John Andersen, U.S. fan: "Well, it was her dream to go, I feel bad for her. She obviously was just hurt, made it through yesterday, and something didn't go well her way today. I know she's disappointed. The team's disappointed and all that. But it's a terrible ending to a great career." 7. 01:04 Wide of Olympic cauldron SOURCE: SNTV DURATION: 01:10 STORYLINE: Lindsey Vonn, racing on a badly injured left knee, crashed early in the Olympic downhill on Sunday and was taken off the course by a helicopter after the 41-year-old American received medical attention on the snow for long, anguished minutes at a course where she had so many fond memories. Vonn lost control over the opening traverse after cutting the line too tight and was spun around in the air. She was heard screaming out after the crash as she was surrounded by medical personnel before she was strapped to a gurney and flown away by a helicopter, possibly ending the skier's storied career. Fans in the audience screamed and winced away from the screen as they witnessed Vonn's crash. "It's such a huge loss and bummer," said Megan Gunyou, a U.S. fan, "I feel so sad for her and I'm sure we're not alone in that feeling." The race was put on hold as she received treatment. Vonn’s teammate, Breezy Johnson, held the early lead. Vonn had family in the stands, including her father, Alan Kildow, who stared down at the ground while his daughter was being treated. Others in the crowd, including Snoop Dogg, watched quietly as the star skier was finally taken off the course where she had so many fond memories. All eyes were on Vonn, the feel-good story heading into the Olympics. She returned to elite ski racing last season after nearly six years, a remarkable decision at any time given her age but she also had a partial titanium knee replacement in her right knee, too. Many wondered how she would fare. She stunned everyone by being a contender almost immediately. She came to the Olympics as the leader in the World Cup downhill standings and was a gold-medal favorite before her crash in Switzerland nine days ago, when she suffered her latest knee injury. In addition to a ruptured ACL, she also had a bone bruise and meniscus damage.
