Others in the crowd, including rapper Snoop Dogg, watched quietly as the star skier was finally taken off the course. Vonn’s crash was “tragic, but it’s ski racing," said Johan Eliasch, president of the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. In 2006, ahead of the Turin Olympics, Vonn took a bad fall during downhill training and went to the hospital. She is called the queen of Cortina, and the Olympia delle Tofana is a course that had always suited Vonn. “Definitely the most dramatic.”News of the crash spread quickly, including to the fan zone down the mountain in Cortina.
