Following Lindsey Vonn’s heavy crash at the Winter Olympics overnight, there has been significant discussion around whether she should have been competing, given her ACL injury sustained just one week prior to the Olympics starting.

In alpine skiing, crashes are rarely due to a single factor. They more commonly result from a combination of high speeds, demanding course conditions, fatigue, equipment interaction, and split-second timing errors. That said, an acute ACL injury - even if partial - can meaningfully affect knee stability, proprioception, reaction time, and confidence, particularly under the extreme loads seen in elite downhill skiing.

While only Lindsey and her medical team will know the full clinical picture, returning to competition so soon after a ligament injury carries inherent risk. From the available footage, the crash appears consistent with loss of edge control at speed, though it’s difficult to determine whether subtle knee instability or protective movement patterns played a contributing role.

Ultimately, high-performance sport involves constant risk-benefit decisions, and even the world’s most experienced athletes are not immune to the consequences of those margins.

During the 5 + hour Australian Open Semi-final on Friday, Carlos Alcaraz was forced to manage a mid-match injury after appearing to experience discomfort during play.

Muscle injuries in tennis often develop from a combination of high training loads, repeated explosive movements, and fatigue rather than a single traumatic event. The demands of rapid acceleration, deceleration, and rotational forces place particular stress on the hip and groin.

Despite the on-court controversy, It looked as though Carlos made a full recovery, going on to beat Alexander Zverev, and then going on to win the Grand Slam against former world number 1, Novak Djokovic in four sets late last night.

Jack Grealish: stress fracture in foot

Premier League star Jack Grealish' season is likely over after reports of a stress fracture in his foot.

Stress fractures occur over time with a build up of load/stress on a bone, rather than a single traumatic injury. Most common in long distance runners but also occur in field sports athletes like Jack.

Stress fractures to the foot most commonly occur to the metatarsals (connect the toes to the middle of the foot) or the navicular bone (on the inside of the foot). These sometimes require surgery, but even if it can be avoided he will need to take weight off his foot for a minimum of 6-8 weeks followed by rehabilitation, possibly ending his season.

🎾 Mid January in Australia means its peak tennis season.
There have been a flood of injury news for the Australian Open with some big names under a cloud:
• Novak Djokovic: neck
• Carlos Alcaraz: hamstring
• Marta Kostyuk: ankle
• Thanasi Kokkinakis: pec
• Zheng Qinwen: elbow

There aren’t too many sports as physically challenging as tennis. Multiple games each week, sometimes lasting many hours- requiring flexibility, speed and power. And when its one on one, there’s nowhere to hide, and no team mates to cover for you.
The players have a massage challenge staying/getting fit over the off season in preparation for the Aus Open being the first grand slam. No Christmas break for them!
