BREAKING SPORTS NEWS: Lindsey Vonn Drops Olympics Due To ACL Injury

We are learning breaking news this morning that Vonn won't be completing in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia next month due to a acl injury.

Lindsey said the following statement on her Facebook: I am devastated to announce that I will not be able to compete in Sochi. I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level. I'm having surgery soon so that I can be ready for the World Championships at home in Vail next February. On a positive note, this means there will be an additional spot so that one of my teammates can go for gold. Thank you all so much for all of the love and support. I will be cheering for all of the Olympians and especially team USA! XO Lindsey

We wish Lindsey the best of luck.
