Lindsey Vonn posted a provisional third-fastest ​time in the final downhill training session ‌at the Milano Cortina ‌Olympics before fog forced an interruption shortly after the American completed ⁠her run on the Olimpia ‌delle Tofane on Saturday.

The ​41-year-old, who has vowed to race on Sunday despite rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at ‌a World Cup event in Switzerland last week, clocked one minute ⁠38.28 seconds as fog settled and light snow began to fall.

Teammate Breezy Johnson led the session, 0.37 seconds faster, with Germany’s Kira Weidle-Winkelmann second, 0.21 off the pace.

Asked how ⁠the run felt, Vonn ‌replied: “Good.”

Skiers are using the session to gauge the piste and snow conditions amid mild ⁠temperatures.
