There was a basketball player, DeJuan Blair, who had no ACL in either knee. If I remember right, he tore both of them multiple times in high school and there was just no way eventually to repair it. He was Big East Rookie of the Year in 2008, Big East Player of the Year in 2009, and played seven years in the NBA.
Not quite the same thing but MLB pitcher didn’t have a UCL in his pitching elbow. Hines Ward and John Elway also were missing/played on a torn ACL for basically their entire professional (sometimes longer) career. Insane any of those guys could be professional in sports that generally require all ligaments
Everything I've ever heard about the Olympic village is that hooking up is extremely common. Don't think she'll have any problem getting laid.Team USA Luger Sophia Kirkby Is Looking for Love in the Olympic Village with Her “Bachelorette”-Style Viral Video

Breezy Johnson takes gold in the women's downhill! Man, these Olympics are going to be Hell on my sleeping schedule!
Sports with judging are categorically dumb.
Sucks for Vonn but I am glad she tried.
My wife and I just had an argument about it lol. She said Vonn shouldn't have tried it because it she could have seriously hurt herself and it sends the wrong message to kids (to compete at all costs). I told her its her choice and her body so she can put it on the line. And it sends the right message to kids, too many athletes sit out for minor crap, she showed that her love of the sport is bigger than an ACL injury. We need more of that.
Look at the US snowboarder who got 4th with a broken arm.

She's going to be so ticked off at herself. Looks like it had nothing to do with her knee at all.... just a technical mistake where she got too high there and hit that gate in mid air and it turned her sideways.
Now... with that being said... maybe it was something with the knee that caused her to be too high.. not sure on that? But if it ends up that she crashed due to her own mistake... I would think that would make me a LOT more upset with myself than if my knee just gave out and there was nothing I could do about it.
Sucks for her for sure. Hope she's okay.
I mean it's her choice if she wants to compete, only she knows how she felt, clearly she made the wrong choice though considering she fell almost immediately. There's also nothing wrong with knowing your limits and when you're too injured to compete.
It's hard to say if she made the wrong choice... I bet she won't think so... and that's all that really matters.
I'm not sure her knee had anything to do with the crash... but I guess we'll find out.
