On Wednesday, March 18, the Olympian revealed that her sister Karin Kildow has torn her ACL. In a video posted to her Instagram Stories , the 41-year-old professional skier — who suffered a complex tibia fracture and a broken right ankle after crashing in the women’s downhill at the Milan Cortina Games — called Kildow “patient #2.
” “Welcome to the Vonn rehab center,” the three-time Olympic medalist wrote underneath a video of Kildow, 33, limping into the frame on crutches. In the video, a smiling Kildow approaches Vonn, who whoops: “Karin joins the rehab program! ” Lindsey Vonn Credit: Lindsey Vonn/Instagram Karin’s injury comes just a few weeks after she helped nurse her sister back to health in an Italian hospital, where she hilariously registered the attractiveness of the Italian doctors who worked there.
In her February Instagram post, she encouraged her followers to “delete your dating apps and just go to an Italian emergency room. ” Kildow then shared a video featuring a number of good-looking men in scrubs hard at work in the hospital in Treviso where Vonn was airlifted after her crash in the women’s downhill event on Feb. 8 at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
It is not immediately clear when Kildow tore her ACL, but her big sister is making leaps and bounds in her recovery. Last week, Vonn shared a video in which she was pedaling on a stationary bike, and she’s posted images of herself motoring around her home on a scooter. As Vonn heals physically, she’s also sharing her mental mindset for the future, five weeks after almost having her leg amputated.
