After being airlifted off the course following the shocking accident, Ca Foncello hospital in Trevizo, Italy, shared a health update on her condition, telling Reuters“In the afternoon, she underwent orthopedic surgery to stabilize the fracture sustained in her left leg.”
Following the crash, which occurred seconds after she accidentally caught her arm on a gate upon starting the race, Lindsey’s sister Karin Kildow shared how she “put her whole heart” into training for the 2026 Olympics.
“That’s definitely the last thing we wanted to see,” Karin told NBC after the devastating event. “When that happens, you’re just immediately hoping she’s okay, and it was scary. When you start to see the stretchers being put out, it’s not a good sign.”
She added, “She dared greatly, and she put it all out there.”
