Lindsey Vonn still intends to ski at the 2026 Winter Olympics, and she took some inspiration from her late coach, Erich Sailer, to help get there. "I know exactly what he would say," wrote Vonn, 41, via her Instagram Story on Monday, February 2 over a photo at Sailer's grave. "Just wish he was here to say it." Sailer died in September 2025 at age 99 after decades mentoring Vonn and other Olympic hopefuls. Vonn's post comes days after she crashed and was airlifted off the course during a World Cup Race in Switzerland.
