The ski empress expressed her feelings after collapsing from a fatal injury on the Olympic last dance stage. Lindsey Vonn (41, USA) participated in the Olympics with a fatal injury of crushing the anterior cruciate ligament, but was fatally shot 13 seconds into the game.

British media 'BBC' reported on the 10th (Korea time) that "Bon suffered a serious complex tibia fracture in the Alpine skiing women's downhill race at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy." "Bon already pushed ahead with the participation with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, but he lost his balance and turned disastrously over the snowfield 13 seconds after the start of the game."

Bon was calm even though his dream collapsed due to the worst injury. "My Olympic dream didn't end the way I dreamed," Vaughan said on his personal social networking service (SNS), adding, "It wasn't a fairytale ending, but it's life. I dared to dream and worked really hard to achieve it," he said.

"The situation at the time of the game did not end as I had hoped and I am suffering intense pain, but I have no regrets at all," Bonn said.

In addition, Bonn said, "I will never forget that amazing feeling when I stood at the starting line yesterday. It was a victory in itself to stand there," he added.

In particular, he drew the line that "the injuries and previous surgical histories have nothing to do with this accident" for pushing ahead with the participation even though he suffered a serious injury in the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee just nine days before the opening of the tournament.

The situation was terrible at the time of the accident. Vaughan, who was in the 13th order, twisted his body when his arm caught him while crossing the first post, lost his balance and crashed at a speed of about 112 km/h.

Immediately after the accident, Bon screamed and complained of extreme pain, and after receiving first aid for about 15 minutes on the slope, he was rushed to a hospital in Treviso by helicopter. Putting together local reports, the moment Bonn collapsed, there was only a devastated silence in the stadium.

Some criticized Bon's unreasonable participation, but his colleagues criticized him as a courageous challenge. "People who don't know the ski race don't understand what happened yesterday," said Keeley Cashman of the U.S. Bon explained, "My body is twisted because my arm is caught in a newspaper article." Federica Brignone (Italy) also added, "If it's your body, it's up to you to decide whether to play or not, not someone else's."

"Skiing has always been and will be an incredibly dangerous sport," Vaughan said. But we take risks in life," he said. "We dream, we love, we jump. Sometimes it falls and breaks my heart, but it's the beauty of life to be able to try," he said.

Also, "I hope you all have the courage to challenge great through my journey. Life is too short not to give yourself a chance. "The only failure is not to try," he said, leaving a heartbreaking message, "I tried, dreamed, and jumped."

Meanwhile, close colleague Bridge Johnson of the U.S. won the gold medal in a chaotic situation, including the suspension of the game due to Bonn's injury. It is Johnson's first Olympic gold medal in his career and the first gold medal for the U.S. national team in this tournament. Emma Eicher of Germany won the silver medal and Sophia Kozia of Italy won the bronze medal.
