Rafael Nadal Salutes Lindsey Vonn After Olympic Crash Surgery

“You are a great inspiration… Stay strong,” Nadal tweeted after Vonn’s Winter Olympics downhill crash. The 41-year-old clipped a gate, was airlifted from Cortina, and later had surgery to stabilize a left-leg fracture—nine days after tearing her left ACL. With super-G and team events looming, her Olympic farewell now looks unlikely. Teammate Breezy Johnson called it “heartbreaking” at the finish.
