After an ACL tear, Lindsey Vonn made an update that made some of the biggest names in Women's Sports come together.

On 3rd February, Lindsey Vonn took to Instagram with a heartfelt post, announcing that she plans to compete in the Olympics despite suffering an ACL tear.

As expected, the post spread across social media, and Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink and others, stepped in to show their support. 

CC responded with a message of encouragement, writing, “💗💗🙌🙌🙌🙌💪💪.” Well, the support felt personal as Fever star herself felt that pain. 

During the 2025 season, she battled injuries of her own. She missed key games and was limited to just 13 appearances. However, she wasn’t the only WNBA star to chime in.

Even Cameron Brink shared a powerful message. “You are amazing ❤️ truly one of my best mentors through injury. Always cheering for you 🫶,” she wrote.

For her, the moment carried extra weight as an ACL tear cut Brink’s rookie season short. She also missed the Olympics because of it. And it was Vonn who offered her valuable advice during that recovery process. Something that Brink admitted on her Instagram story today. 

But that’s not it. The post also drew support from athletes across the sports world. Olympic gymnasts Jade Carey and Laurie Hernandez responded, along with alpine skier Chemmy Alcott, para triathlete Grace Norman, and skateboarding icon Leticia Bufoni. 

They all compete in different arenas and under different pressures, but shared a common understanding of resilience, especially when it comes to injury and recovery. And honestly, Vonn needed that support more than ever.

Lindsey Vonn Opens Up After Hurtful Skier Comment

Following her injury, Vonn admitted she was deeply upset by how some fellow skiers reacted after a women’s World Cup downhill race in Switzerland was canceled.

The race was stopped after several skiers crashed, including Vonn, who was injured during her run. As Officials deemed the conditions unsafe, the event was called off. 

But after the cancellation, some racers were caught on a live microphone expressing frustration. One skier was even heard saying, “Some athletes count more than others,” implying the race had been canceled because of Vonn. 

Naturally, hearing those comments, Vonn felt hurt. And in that moment, the show of unity from fellow athletes mattered.
