Sad to hear Lindsey Vonn has been badly injured today. As with Nadal, any time that we are without a such a talent is a huge loss to sport.

Watching vids of Vonn's crash. Man, the whole thing is just bad. The visual is scary, but hearing the audio w/o commentators is just awful!

I hope Lindsay Vonn a speedy recovery. She's a cold skier and no athlete or person should endure what she's going through.
