Lindsey Vonn’s dad said Monday he hopes the horrific crash that landed the Olympic legend in the hospital at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games will mark "the end of her career."

Alan Kildow told The Associated Press he wasn’t sure whether he actually has any say in the matter. Vonn broke her leg during the final run of the alpine ski women’s downhill event. She crashed in the first sector and needed to be airlifted off the mountain.

"She’s 41 years old and this is the end of her career," he told The Associated Press. "There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it."

Kildow didn’t divulge any details about the injuries but mentioned her emotional state.

"She’s a very strong individual," Kildow said. "She knows physical pain and she understands the circumstances that she finds herself in. And she’s able to handle it. Better than I expected. She’s a very, very strong person. And so I think she’s handling it real well."

Vonn’s family was on hand to watch her try to pull off a miracle – win an Olympic medal in one of the fastest sports the Games has to offer all while dealing with a ruptured ACL.
