1
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: Hey, there are folks.

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: It is Sunday, February eighth, and we are hopping on

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: because the thing we feared, we dreaded, we hoped wouldn't

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: happen at the Olympics has happened. That Lindsey Vaughn has

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: gone down in a pretty devastating crash. Welcome to this

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: episode episode of Amy and TJ and Robes Look Olympic Dreams.

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Will talk about in a second what she was trying

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: to do and.

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Why it's sad.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: But this was a pretty serious, significant crash we just

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: watched a short time ago.

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: Actually, yes, in fact, I woke up and you The

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: first thing you said to me was, Babe, Lindsay vugh

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: just crashed, And I said, how bad was it? And look,

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: I know it's standard operating procedure to airlift them off

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: the mountain, but when you see that happened just that

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: visual it is serious, I mean. And unfortunately you can

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: see the crash and know that it was but you

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: could hear her after she crashed, and her pain was undeniable.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 4: She was screaming yeah.

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: And even if you didn't have your audio up, there

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: are images out there. The agony is on her face

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: now let's tell you what we do.

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Want to tell you this.

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: We're actually delayed in recording and reporting on this because

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: we were trying to wait and get some kind of

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: a significant update about how she's doing, which we still

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: do not have. We don't know exactly how she's doing

29
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: only at the USA team. USA is saying that she

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: is being treated by the medical staff and that's to

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: be expected, but nothing yet.

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: Yes, her family obviously was there on the mountain hoping

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: for a much different outcome, but they did speak to

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: reporters and said this, and this was reassuring that Lindsay

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: has all her surgeons and her physical therapy staff here

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: and her doctors, so they are all with her, her.

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: Team, and they know what they're dealing with.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: They knew what she was up against, and so her

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: family said that they are anxiously awaiting a report, but

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: she is in the best hand she could be in.

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: When her sister was saying all of that, when she

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: was listing so like, she has a whole squad of

43
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: medical staff that travels with her. That is incredible and

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: that is impressive, but it was also necessary robes given

45
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: what she was trying to do. A reminder here she

46
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: was in the finals today of the down hill, the

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: finals of the downhill, which she has won a gold

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: medal in previously. But this is a race that she

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: is doing nine days after she ruptured her ACL. That

50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: is an injury that takes folks six to nine months

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: to come back from, and she was out there going

52
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: at it now, Robes the reason, Look, this is always

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: a possibility. This is some violent stuff and turns and

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: movements and things they're doing to their body at seventy

55
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: plus miles an hour. But Robes, we saw her several

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: days ago have very positive training runs. It was the

57
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: first chance we all got to see her test out

58
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: that ACL on her left knee, Robes, and she looked good.

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: I know. She actually in one of the training runs,

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 3: I don't believe. I don't know if it was the

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: second or the first one. She finished third and hit

62
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: a I think a speed of seven ty eight miles

63
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: per hour. So yes, she had two goes at it,

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: and it looked like she was one hundred percent going

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: to be in metal contention. And she wasn't giving her

66
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: all obviously, because you hold a little bit back on

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: your training runs.

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: And she was still doing well.

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: But that was part of the question.

70
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: She tested it, but did she fully give it everything

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: she's going to give it in the race, And apparently

72
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: something and maybe that was the case, maybe it was not,

73
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: but Robes, it sure looked like and very early on

74
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: in this race will explain here what happened.

75
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: But she was going well.

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: Was she thirteenth in the race, and yes, she was

77
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: number thirteen, but she was getting ready for her run.

78
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: Everyone had made it down thus far, meaning the skiers

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: were handling the course fairly well. So she gets going,

80
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: Robes and this is I haven't quite seen things like

81
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: I've seen crashes before. But she thirteen seconds in and

82
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: her crash or losing control happened while she was in

83
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: the air.

84
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: Yes, and so that's what's so puzzling, because it wasn't

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: like she was skiing and she was trying to take

86
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: a turn and put too much weight on her injured

87
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: leg and that's what caused the problem.

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: No, is she lost control in mid air.

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: And again, other folks, the commentators who know more about

90
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: skiing than certainly we do. Certainly I do. You know

91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: more than I do, but I know even less than that.

92
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: They are noticing or trying and say there was some

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: kind of a buckle. It seemed like there was something

94
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: unstable about that knee before she launched it.

95
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: Yes, that would make sense.

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: The way she launched off of the knee caused her

97
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: to be unsteady or was not the power she was expecting,

98
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: and that caused her to lose control. But the sad

99
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: thing is this is a one point six mile race.

100
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: I believe she crashed thirteen seconds in. I mean that

101
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: was almost immediately. Look gets bad to crash at any point,

102
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: but that just is tough. She was looking forward to this.

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: Her trainer said, they woke up this morning. It's stunningly

104
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: beautiful right now in Italy. It's perfect conditions, blue skies.

105
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: She said. They had music blasting.

106
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: They were feel she had good practice runs and then

107
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: to have it all go down in thirteen seconds.

108
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: It's tough, you know. We she is that fair? Was

109
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: she the story of the Olympics?

110
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: She yes, And a lot of people are already writing

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: this that she was the biggest draw, like Michael Phelps

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: type of situation where you've got Americans tuning in to

113
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: watch Lindsay Vaughn's so for her to be out, it's

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: obviously devastating to her, But it is actually fairly devastating

115
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: to the stories into just the Olympics, at least that sport.

116
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: But isn't this exactly what the Olympics always gives us,

117
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: these stories of incredible comebacks and victory and then the

118
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: most painful heartbreak we will all ever have to witness,

119
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: and we have to witness it live. It was a

120
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: stretch Robes to think that she could meddle right, just

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: her getting down the slope. Are you frickin kidding me?

122
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: An ACL? You understand, for everybody understands what that means.

123
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: This knocks pro athletes out. They lose a year of

124
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: their career with this stuff. Yeah, nine days.

125
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: And you can tear your ACL, you can strain your ACL.

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: She says, she ruptured gone her ACL. So that's a

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: lot different than just having a strain or a pole.

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: And she had to have a brace on while she

129
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: was skiing, and look, she said that she had.

130
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: A bruised bone too. I believe.

131
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that sounds so incredibly painful. I cannot imagine.

132
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: And then to be able oof to hear her screaming

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: when she crashed, it's just it.

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: It just makes your heart shrink.

135
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: And it crashed in such a way if you're watching

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: it that you lose There was so much snow.

137
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: It was such a violent crash.

138
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: It was so much snow floating up around her that

139
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: you lose sight of her almost in the snow as

140
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: she's crashing. It is a devastating thing to watch. You

141
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: add the whole story to it, Ropes. This was the comeback.

142
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: This wasn't just all we love Lindley Vaughn, but you

143
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: add to it Ropes. She just came out of retirement

144
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: last year for the twenty four twenty five season and

145
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: was good enough that everybody said, oh, oh, here she comes.

146
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: She wants to do the Olympics again. Sure not, She's

147
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: on course. She makes the team. Everybody, she's forty one.

148
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: Folks don't ski like this at forty one, correct, No,

149
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: they do.

150
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: Not. Your body, Oh, I mean what it takes to

151
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: do what she does at the speeds she does them.

152
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: You need to be in the best shape of your life,

153
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: and that typically happens when folks are in their teens

154
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: in twenties.

155
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: She was crushing it when she was that age, but

156
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: then robes. So just her making the comeback at forty one,

157
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: and being at the Olympics was holy hell. She was

158
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: the story of the Olympics before she ruptured the ACL

159
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: nine days ago.

160
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: I know.

161
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: So you add that to it, you add to the

162
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: fact that she's still out there pushing, she's still going.

163
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: She's had two successful runs ropes. We were primed for

164
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: one of the greatest stories in Olympic history, I know.

165
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: And this was and this was her event. As you

166
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: pointed out, she was the gold medalist. And this is

167
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: her course too, by the way, apparently I don't know.

168
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 3: She loves this particular course and she felt confident because

169
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: she knows it well. And a lot of a lot

170
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: of the skiers say this is such a tough one.

171
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: They don't prefer it. This was her run, and so

172
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: that's what makes it even sadder. She had two more

173
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: events that she was going to hopefully participate in. Obviously

174
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: one would assume that's all shot, she is done, and

175
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: the her Olympic dreams are over.

176
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look the knee. We'll hear about the knee.

177
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: And shortly again we just saw her ski for the

178
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: last time. Probably wow, So checking on the knee, but again,

179
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: the rest of her quite frankly, I mean, she took

180
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: them nasty fall.

181
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: She could be injured in some other way, we don't know.

182
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: And again we were trying to get word and we

183
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: delayed hopping on because we wanted to see if we

184
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: can give you that official word on her injuries.

185
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: We are that's it's a tough.

186
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: Grass and I don't know how.

187
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: I haven't gone back and watched it too closely, but

188
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: there were some folks who have already written that it

189
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: appeared she hit her head pretty badly. Now, this is

190
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: why skiers need to wear helmets, because you go down

191
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: and this is packed snow. It's like hitting your head

192
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: on ice almost so Thankfully obviously she had a helmet on,

193
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: but that was a little bit of a concern.

194
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: They said, her head hit pretty hard.

195
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: You know what I learned this. I don't know if

196
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: it's new for the Olympics this time around, but robes

197
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: they have a new safety feature. And the commentator explained

198
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: it little air bags in their chest, in their torso

199
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: that the things he said in zero point four to

200
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: five millisec something like that, it inflates when it can

201
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: tell that the skier is in a position they shouldn't

202
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: be in, and can it like an airbag and a

203
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: split second give you a cushion to protect your torso

204
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: and a crash.

205
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: I had no idea I did.

206
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: I just heard about that this morning.

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: That is insane, incredible, and I'm surprised that they're able

208
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: to do it aero dynamically because obviously speed is everything,

209
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: and so you wouldn't want to have anything that lags you, Yes,

210
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: but obviously if it protects you, it's a scary thing.

211
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: And by the way, didn't two more women then crash

212
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: after Lindsay. I believe that happens.

213
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: I saw the one at least, but were one and.

214
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: So unfortunately, and they don't think it was the conditions.

215
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: But that kind of thing messes with your head you

216
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: see someone else crash, it just it starts to make

217
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: folks nervous, and so, yes, when Lindsay had gone, no

218
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: one had crashed up until then after she went, two

219
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: more skiers crash.

220
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: And it was some to your points where it was

221
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: something that commentators mentioned several times, like after you see

222
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: someone crash and then you have to go next, it

223
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: could affect your mindset, but it also affect your score,

224
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: like you're backing off a little bit. Even it's not

225
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: just about another crash they done. They absolutely said, it

226
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: gets in your head.

227
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: That makes so much sense. Look just the skiing that

228
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: I've done. I'm not even kidding. When I see someone crash,

229
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: I start to go, oh no, you don't cry. It

230
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: gets in your head, and it's it's a strange thing. Now,

231
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: obviously these are very well trained athletes, some of them professional,

232
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: but it is a bit of a mind game.

233
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: At that point, you didn't want to say the other thing.

234
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: I wanted to say, the mind That's so funny.

235
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: You knew what I was thinking exactly.

236
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't think I should drop the f bom right now.

237
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: It's early, it's Sunday.

238
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: But folks, like we said, this was the biggest draw.

239
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: Lindsay Vaughn is the biggest draw, the biggest story of

240
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: the Olympics, and it was certainly obvious based on who

241
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: was in the crowd when she was racing.

242
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Today.

243
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: All right, well continue here on Amy and TJ on

244
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: this Sunday, February eighth. As we were recording, we just

245
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: watched the greatest American skier ever, Lindsay Vaughn, end her

246
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: run at the Olympics and probably end her skiing career

247
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: with a pretty devastating crash robes that she was trying

248
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: to do what many thought impossible, certainly improbable, but just

249
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: that she was out there trying on a ruptured acl

250
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 2: to compete at the highest level.

251
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Was it hats off to your system?

252
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean she gave it her all and went

253
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: on where a lot of people would say, I'm out,

254
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm done, There's no way I can operate in this

255
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: kind of pain. And so yes, at forty one, she

256
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: was trying to be the oldest Olympian or female Olympian

257
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: to medal in downhill skiing, and so she could have

258
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: would have. I mean, her training runs were suggesting she

259
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: was in contention and very well may have. So it's

260
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 3: just such a sad, sad end you put it like this,

261
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: that is the last time we will likely ever see

262
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,359
Speaker 3: Lindsey Vaughn ski competitively.

263
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: And that's just so sad.

264
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: Not so, but I mean, what a career. She's the

265
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: greatest step.

266
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: She's given us decades of just glory and of wonder

267
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: and amazement and how she attacks, of course, and she's

268
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: known for that. What her sister said it some way,

269
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: she only has one speed, She only knows how to

270
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: go all out. She was out there doing this bravely,

271
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: hats off till you please, anyone stop they're doing it already.

272
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: They were second guessing and questioning whether or not she

273
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: should even go out there, whether she should have a spot,

274
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: whether this was possible. Let the girl be just okay,

275
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: they are criticizing her team. You was saying for letting

276
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: her go for Oh, well come.

277
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just look, I think it's incredible when someone

278
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: wants to do something that's never been done before, and

279
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: then to have to do it on a massive injury.

280
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: That takes a lot of courage. And she was believing

281
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: in herself in that moment. And yeah, she was hoping

282
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: to become the oldest person to win an Olympic medal

283
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: in alpine, so that it was man or woman. So yeah,

284
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: she was doing something that no one had done before.

285
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: Can you imagine at that age with that injury, going

286
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: eighty miles an hour down of course, where you don't

287
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: have control the snow, The ice can absolutely impact. You

288
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: see people crash all the time. So it's just that

289
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: is such a man. I can't imagine skiing with that

290
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 3: kind of fear, knowing I wasn't at my best.

291
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: It's the pressure on your body.

292
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: It seems like every your pinky toe needs to be

293
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: in the best shape it's ever been to compete at

294
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: this level and to think not just something an.

295
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: Injury or a bruise or strength.

296
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: She had something that devastating and went out there and

297
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 2: put that strength. She knows what it takes to make

298
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: those turns and to compete. She was willing to do it.

299
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: Then I'll listen to her like yourself out. But today

300
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: and again Rose, we saw her crash this morning. Well

301
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: I saw it happen live.

302
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 4: Some crazy up earlyarly, but.

303
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: We saw that and then it it pulled at your

304
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: heart a little bit because not long after the crash

305
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: we see either the promos, like the regular promos that

306
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: were scheduled to run.

307
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Lindsay von Rude On Lindsay.

308
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Vonn was she's such a big part of the promotion

309
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: of the Olympic Games.

310
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: Yes, she's a huge poll As we were talking about,

311
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: she's one of the main reasons why people are tuning

312
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: into these alpine events because they want to see Lindsay

313
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: von Ski and see if she can push herself past

314
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: a point that most people could not.

315
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: But you know what we did have. We did get

316
