Things took a scary turn at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada, when two-time Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn took a nasty spill during a run on Friday. The 33-year-old — who had the second-best qualifying time entering the Women’s World Cup season opener Friday — wiped out and went hard into the barrier netting. Here’s the video: Ouch. Despite the hard hit, the American appeared to not be too badly hurt, making her way down the hill on her own power. Later in the day, she responded to the incident on Twitter.

(Gluck later tweeted to correct that it was Stenhouse, not Kevin Harvick, made Larson hit the deck.) This just goes to show, it’s always your closest fri... NESN.com

Latest Tiger Woods Incident Another Sad Addition To Story Of His Rise And Fall
Share this: The rise and fall of Tiger Woods is something the world is very familiar with, but that doesn’t make it any easier to comprehend.

Tim Tebow Gets Brutal Assessment From Scouts After Arizona Fall League
Tim Tebow sure is trying to make this baseball thing work, but so far, that’s just not happening. The former NFL quarterback signed with the New York Mets in September and has been playing in the Arizona Fall League, where he put up a .194/.296/.242 slash line with three doubles, no home runs and 20 strikeouts in 19 games.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll simply was minding his own business during Tyler Lockett’s electrifying 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown during a preseason game against the Denver Broncos on Friday, but that all changed in an instant.
