+ Will Lindsey Vonn win Olympic gold with a torn cruciate ligament?
Alpine legend Lindsey Vonn tore her cruciate ligament in her left knee just over a week before the start of the Olympics in Italy. Despite this, the American is on the starting line today when the women's downhill race is decided in Cortina.
+ Mixed relay in biathlon
At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Sweden finished fourth in the mixed relay. In contrast, star Elvira Öberg will not get a chance when the biathlon relay gets under way.
