Von has been competing for 24 years.
She is one of the most decorated alpine skiers in history.
And she actually retired for about six years and then decided to come back.
This would be marking her, is marking her fifth Olympics and all was looking quite good for her.
That was until one week ago.
One week before the Olympics, she sustains a torn ACL.
For the listeners, what is an ACL?
And it's to do with, like, turning left and right.
Like, it's to do with that.
You can see it on the face of an athlete when they know they've done their ACL because they're looking down the barrel at a really significant recovery.
She also had a bone bruise.
And for most athletes going into downhill skiing,
this would mean bowing out.
