WEBVTT - NOW: Linsey Vonn Airlifted After Devestating Crash in Olympic Final

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Hey, there are folks.

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>It is Sunday, February eighth, and we are hopping on

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>because the thing we feared, we dreaded, we hoped wouldn't

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>happen at the Olympics has happened. That Lindsey Vaughn has

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>gone down in a pretty devastating crash. Welcome to this

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>episode episode of Amy and TJ and Robes Look Olympic Dreams.

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Will talk about in a second what she was trying

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 2>to do and.

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Why it's sad.

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>But this was a pretty serious, significant crash we just

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 2>watched a short time ago.

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Actually, yes, in fact, I woke up and you The

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 3>first thing you said to me was, Babe, Lindsay vugh

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 3>just crashed, And I said, how bad was it? And look,

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 3>I know it's standard operating procedure to airlift them off

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 3>the mountain, but when you see that happened just that

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.279
<v Speaker 3>visual it is serious, I mean. And unfortunately you can

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 3>see the crash and know that it was but you

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>could hear her after she crashed, and her pain was undeniable.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 4>She was screaming yeah.

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 2>And even if you didn't have your audio up, there

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 2>are images out there. The agony is on her face

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>now let's tell you what we do.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Want to tell you this.

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>We're actually delayed in recording and reporting on this because

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 2>we were trying to wait and get some kind of

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a significant update about how she's doing, which we still

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>do not have. We don't know exactly how she's doing

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>only at the USA team. USA is saying that she

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>is being treated by the medical staff and that's to

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>be expected, but nothing yet.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, her family obviously was there on the mountain hoping

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 3>for a much different outcome, but they did speak to

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 3>reporters and said this, and this was reassuring that Lindsay

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 3>has all her surgeons and her physical therapy staff here

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>and her doctors, so they are all with her, her.

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 4>Team, and they know what they're dealing with.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 3>They knew what she was up against, and so her

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 3>family said that they are anxiously awaiting a report, but

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 3>she is in the best hand she could be in.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>When her sister was saying all of that, when she

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>was listing so like, she has a whole squad of

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>medical staff that travels with her. That is incredible and

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>that is impressive, but it was also necessary robes given

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 2>what she was trying to do. A reminder here she

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>was in the finals today of the down hill, the

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>finals of the downhill, which she has won a gold

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>medal in previously. But this is a race that she

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>is doing nine days after she ruptured her ACL. That

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>is an injury that takes folks six to nine months

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 2>to come back from, and she was out there going

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>at it now, Robes the reason, Look, this is always

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>a possibility. This is some violent stuff and turns and

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>movements and things they're doing to their body at seventy

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>plus miles an hour. But Robes, we saw her several

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>days ago have very positive training runs. It was the

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>first chance we all got to see her test out

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>that ACL on her left knee, Robes, and she looked good.

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I know. She actually in one of the training runs,

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe. I don't know if it was the

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 3>second or the first one. She finished third and hit

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 3>a I think a speed of seven ty eight miles

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 3>per hour. So yes, she had two goes at it,

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>and it looked like she was one hundred percent going

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>to be in metal contention. And she wasn't giving her

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 3>all obviously, because you hold a little bit back on

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 3>your training runs.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 4>And she was still doing well.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>But that was part of the question.

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 2>She tested it, but did she fully give it everything

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>she's going to give it in the race, And apparently

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 2>something and maybe that was the case, maybe it was not,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>but Robes, it sure looked like and very early on

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>in this race will explain here what happened.

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>But she was going well.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Was she thirteenth in the race, and yes, she was

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>number thirteen, but she was getting ready for her run.

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Everyone had made it down thus far, meaning the skiers

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>were handling the course fairly well. So she gets going,

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Robes and this is I haven't quite seen things like

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I've seen crashes before. But she thirteen seconds in and

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 2>her crash or losing control happened while she was in

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the air.

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and so that's what's so puzzling, because it wasn't

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 3>like she was skiing and she was trying to take

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 3>a turn and put too much weight on her injured

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 3>leg and that's what caused the problem.

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 4>No, is she lost control in mid air.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And again, other folks, the commentators who know more about

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>skiing than certainly we do. Certainly I do. You know

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>more than I do, but I know even less than that.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 2>They are noticing or trying and say there was some

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of a buckle. It seemed like there was something

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>unstable about that knee before she launched it.

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that would make sense.

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 3>The way she launched off of the knee caused her

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 3>to be unsteady or was not the power she was expecting,

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 3>and that caused her to lose control. But the sad

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>thing is this is a one point six mile race.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I believe she crashed thirteen seconds in. I mean that

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>was almost immediately. Look gets bad to crash at any point,

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 3>but that just is tough. She was looking forward to this.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Her trainer said, they woke up this morning. It's stunningly

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 3>beautiful right now in Italy. It's perfect conditions, blue skies.

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 4>She said. They had music blasting.

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>They were feel she had good practice runs and then

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 3>to have it all go down in thirteen seconds.

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>It's tough, you know. We she is that fair? Was

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>she the story of the Olympics?

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 3>She yes, And a lot of people are already writing

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>this that she was the biggest draw, like Michael Phelps

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>type of situation where you've got Americans tuning in to

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 3>watch Lindsay Vaughn's so for her to be out, it's

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>obviously devastating to her, But it is actually fairly devastating

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 3>to the stories into just the Olympics, at least that sport.

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>But isn't this exactly what the Olympics always gives us,

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 2>these stories of incredible comebacks and victory and then the

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 2>most painful heartbreak we will all ever have to witness,

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and we have to witness it live. It was a

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 2>stretch Robes to think that she could meddle right, just

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 2>her getting down the slope. Are you frickin kidding me?

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>An ACL? You understand, for everybody understands what that means.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>This knocks pro athletes out. They lose a year of

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>their career with this stuff. Yeah, nine days.

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 3>And you can tear your ACL, you can strain your ACL.

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 3>She says, she ruptured gone her ACL. So that's a

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 3>lot different than just having a strain or a pole.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 3>And she had to have a brace on while she

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 3>was skiing, and look, she said that she had.

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 4>A bruised bone too. I believe.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that sounds so incredibly painful. I cannot imagine.

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 3>And then to be able oof to hear her screaming

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 3>when she crashed, it's just it.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 4>It just makes your heart shrink.

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.479
<v Speaker 2>And it crashed in such a way if you're watching

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>it that you lose There was so much snow.

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>It was such a violent crash.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>It was so much snow floating up around her that

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>you lose sight of her almost in the snow as

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 2>she's crashing. It is a devastating thing to watch. You

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 2>add the whole story to it, Ropes. This was the comeback.

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>This wasn't just all we love Lindley Vaughn, but you

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>add to it Ropes. She just came out of retirement

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>last year for the twenty four twenty five season and

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>was good enough that everybody said, oh, oh, here she comes.

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>She wants to do the Olympics again. Sure not, She's

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 2>on course. She makes the team. Everybody, she's forty one.

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Folks don't ski like this at forty one, correct, No,

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 2>they do.

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Not. Your body, Oh, I mean what it takes to

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 3>do what she does at the speeds she does them.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 3>You need to be in the best shape of your life,

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 3>and that typically happens when folks are in their teens

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 3>in twenties.

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 2>She was crushing it when she was that age, but

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>then robes. So just her making the comeback at forty one,

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and being at the Olympics was holy hell. She was

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>the story of the Olympics before she ruptured the ACL

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 2>nine days ago.

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 2>So you add that to it, you add to the

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 2>fact that she's still out there pushing, she's still going.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>She's had two successful runs ropes. We were primed for

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the greatest stories in Olympic history, I know.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 3>And this was and this was her event. As you

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 3>pointed out, she was the gold medalist. And this is

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>her course too, by the way, apparently I don't know.

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:57.679
<v Speaker 3>She loves this particular course and she felt confident because

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 3>she knows it well. And a lot of a lot

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>of the skiers say this is such a tough one.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 3>They don't prefer it. This was her run, and so

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>that's what makes it even sadder. She had two more

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 3>events that she was going to hopefully participate in. Obviously

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 3>one would assume that's all shot, she is done, and

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 3>the her Olympic dreams are over.

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look the knee. We'll hear about the knee.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>And shortly again we just saw her ski for the

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>last time. Probably wow, So checking on the knee, but again,

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the rest of her quite frankly, I mean, she took

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>them nasty fall.

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>She could be injured in some other way, we don't know.

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And again we were trying to get word and we

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 2>delayed hopping on because we wanted to see if we

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>can give you that official word on her injuries.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>We are that's it's a tough.

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Grass and I don't know how.

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I haven't gone back and watched it too closely, but

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 3>there were some folks who have already written that it

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 3>appeared she hit her head pretty badly. Now, this is

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 3>why skiers need to wear helmets, because you go down

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 3>and this is packed snow. It's like hitting your head

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 3>on ice almost so Thankfully obviously she had a helmet on,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 3>but that was a little bit of a concern.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 4>They said, her head hit pretty hard.

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 2>You know what I learned this. I don't know if

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 2>it's new for the Olympics this time around, but robes

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>they have a new safety feature. And the commentator explained

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 2>it little air bags in their chest, in their torso

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that the things he said in zero point four to

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>five millisec something like that, it inflates when it can

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>tell that the skier is in a position they shouldn't

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>be in, and can it like an airbag and a

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>split second give you a cushion to protect your torso

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 2>and a crash.

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 4>I had no idea I did.

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I just heard about that this morning.

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>That is insane, incredible, and I'm surprised that they're able

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 3>to do it aero dynamically because obviously speed is everything,

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 3>and so you wouldn't want to have anything that lags you, Yes,

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 3>but obviously if it protects you, it's a scary thing.

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, didn't two more women then crash

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 3>after Lindsay. I believe that happens.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I saw the one at least, but were one and.

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>So unfortunately, and they don't think it was the conditions.

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 3>But that kind of thing messes with your head you

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 3>see someone else crash, it just it starts to make

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 3>folks nervous, and so, yes, when Lindsay had gone, no

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 3>one had crashed up until then after she went, two

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 3>more skiers crash.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>And it was some to your points where it was

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>something that commentators mentioned several times, like after you see

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 2>someone crash and then you have to go next, it

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>could affect your mindset, but it also affect your score,

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 2>like you're backing off a little bit. Even it's not

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 2>just about another crash they done. They absolutely said, it

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 2>gets in your head.

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 3>That makes so much sense. Look just the skiing that

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I've done. I'm not even kidding. When I see someone crash,

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I start to go, oh no, you don't cry. It

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 3>gets in your head, and it's it's a strange thing. Now,

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 3>obviously these are very well trained athletes, some of them professional,

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 3>but it is a bit of a mind game.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>At that point, you didn't want to say the other thing.

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to say, the mind That's so funny.

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>You knew what I was thinking exactly.

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I should drop the f bom right now.

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 3>It's early, it's Sunday.

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>But folks, like we said, this was the biggest draw.

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Lindsay Vaughn is the biggest draw, the biggest story of

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics, and it was certainly obvious based on who

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>was in the crowd when she was racing.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Today.

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, well continue here on Amy and TJ on

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>this Sunday, February eighth. As we were recording, we just

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>watched the greatest American skier ever, Lindsay Vaughn, end her

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 2>run at the Olympics and probably end her skiing career

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 2>with a pretty devastating crash robes that she was trying

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 2>to do what many thought impossible, certainly improbable, but just

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that she was out there trying on a ruptured acl

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.599
<v Speaker 2>to compete at the highest level.

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Was it hats off to your system?

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I mean she gave it her all and went

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 3>on where a lot of people would say, I'm out,

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm done, There's no way I can operate in this

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of pain. And so yes, at forty one, she

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 3>was trying to be the oldest Olympian or female Olympian

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 3>to medal in downhill skiing, and so she could have

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 3>would have. I mean, her training runs were suggesting she

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 3>was in contention and very well may have. So it's

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.959
<v Speaker 3>just such a sad, sad end you put it like this,

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 3>that is the last time we will likely ever see

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Lindsey Vaughn ski competitively.

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 4>And that's just so sad.

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Not so, but I mean, what a career. She's the

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>greatest step.

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>She's given us decades of just glory and of wonder

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 2>and amazement and how she attacks, of course, and she's

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>known for that. What her sister said it some way,

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 2>she only has one speed, She only knows how to

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>go all out. She was out there doing this bravely,

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>hats off till you please, anyone stop they're doing it already.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>They were second guessing and questioning whether or not she

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>should even go out there, whether she should have a spot,

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 2>whether this was possible. Let the girl be just okay,

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>they are criticizing her team. You was saying for letting

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>her go for Oh, well come.

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just look, I think it's incredible when someone

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 3>wants to do something that's never been done before, and

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 3>then to have to do it on a massive injury.

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 3>That takes a lot of courage. And she was believing

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 3>in herself in that moment. And yeah, she was hoping

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 3>to become the oldest person to win an Olympic medal

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.440
<v Speaker 3>in alpine, so that it was man or woman. So yeah,

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 3>she was doing something that no one had done before.

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Can you imagine at that age with that injury, going

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 3>eighty miles an hour down of course, where you don't

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 3>have control the snow, The ice can absolutely impact. You

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 3>see people crash all the time. So it's just that

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 3>is such a man. I can't imagine skiing with that

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of fear, knowing I wasn't at my best.

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It's the pressure on your body.

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 2>It seems like every your pinky toe needs to be

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 2>in the best shape it's ever been to compete at

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 2>this level and to think not just something an.

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Injury or a bruise or strength.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>She had something that devastating and went out there and

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>put that strength. She knows what it takes to make

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>those turns and to compete. She was willing to do it.

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Then I'll listen to her like yourself out. But today

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 2>and again Rose, we saw her crash this morning. Well

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I saw it happen live.

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Some crazy up earlyarly, but.

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>We saw that and then it it pulled at your

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>heart a little bit because not long after the crash

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>we see either the promos, like the regular promos that

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 2>were scheduled to run.

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned. Lindsay von Rude On Lindsay.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Vonn was she's such a big part of the promotion

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 2>of the Olympic Games.

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, she's a huge poll As we were talking about,

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 3>she's one of the main reasons why people are tuning

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 3>into these alpine events because they want to see Lindsay

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 3>von Ski and see if she can push herself past

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 3>a point that most people could not.

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 4>But you know what we did have. We did get

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 4>the gold in the event.

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 3>After Lindsay Vaughn was airlifted out, her teammate Breezy Johnson

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 3>won the race. She is now the first American since

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Lindsay Vonn in twenty ten to win that Olympic gold

0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 3>in the downhill race.

0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>So it happens on this day that Lindsay crashes tough.

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 2>It's tough, it's poetic, it's it's it's a handing off

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>of the guard, it's it's a it's it's my god.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>What Lindsay Vaughn has given this country over the years

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>has been pretty special. We are not the greatest skiing

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 2>country in the world.

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 4>We're not.

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 3>Maybe the Swedes and the Norwegians they might have a

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 3>few on us.

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 2>We name all the skiers, right, MICHAELA. Schiffriend you got

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>body Miller, I remember just off the top of my head.

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's Lindsay von It's Linda.

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>She's our superstar, and she's our superstar and other superstars

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>come to see her.

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Look.

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I know we see Snoop Dogg floating around all over

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics. But you know, it's a big event. If

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>he shows up at it, and he was. He was

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 2>sitting out there Nicole today in his.

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Big white puffy jacket. Hilarious. I loved it. I want

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 4>to I want to get that jacket.

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Everything he wears at the Olympics should be online and

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 2>be sold.

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 3>It's true they it would sell out immediately. He was

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 3>rocking it with that. I don't know what it was,

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 3>some white surple looking killing big every chuffy jacket.

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I loved it every time.

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 2>But he was out there, but this crowd was massive,

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 2>but sitting in those stands and everybody fell silent, and

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 2>they kept showing the looks on people's faces.

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>And again this went for a long time.

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 4>This was thirty minutes, thirty minute delay, thirty minute delay.

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, if you go online and just they actually have
