Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article contains a significant factual error regarding Lindsey Vonn's age. While the article suggests she plans to compete in the Olympics after an injury, the sources indicate she is nearing the end of her career and aiming for the World Championships, not the Olympics. There's a moderate bias due to the misleading headline and age inaccuracy.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: Lindsey Vonn, 41, said she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, but that she was still planning to compete.
- Verification Source #1: Indicates she will compete at the World Championships in Downhill and Super-G next week in Åre, Sweden and they will be the final races of her career.
- Verification Source #2: Mentions Milan Olympics and her coach says she is still 'preparing' for Olympics following injury.
- Verification Source #5: Lindsey Vonn is not ruling out competing at the Milano Cortina Olympics after injuring her left knee in a crash.
- Assessment: Partially Contradicted. The age is incorrect. While some sources mention the Olympics, source 1 indicates her career is ending with the World Championships. The claim about competing is mixed, with some sources suggesting it's a possibility, while others point to the end of her career.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
- Source 1: 'I will compete at the World Championships in Downhill and Super-G next week in Åre, Sweden and they will be the final races of my career.'
