MILAN — Lindsey Vonn’s magnificent comeback is over, in the most devastating way possible.
Starting 13th in a field of 36 for the women’s downhill, facing the dramatic 2,572-meter Olympia Delle Tofane course, pushing out of the gate at high noon, Vonn almost immediately clipped one of the course’s gates with her right shoulder. That was enough to send her spinning over a jump, twisting helplessly over her skis.
Far below, the crowd watched in stunned silence.
