What time does Lindsey Vonn actually ski? Here’s the full order for Olympic women’s downhill schedule on Sunday

Lindsey Vonn, age 41 and with a torn ACL, will nonetheless get her 2026 Winter Olympics underway on Sunday.

It's an early start, and anyone watching back in the United States is either going to have to pull an all-nighter or set an alarm.

Vonn will be competing first in the women's downhill event, and the order has been set for the participants.

The skiing in general starts at 11:30 a.m. local time (5:30 a.m. ET), but Vonn won't be going off first.

Here's what we know about when Vonn should actually be skiing.

What time is Lindsey Vonn actually skiing?

At the absolute, positively earliest, Vonn will be skiing at 5:55 a.m. ET.

More likely, it'll be sometime between 6:00 and 6:15 a.m. ET.

Vonn is 13th in the order that skiiers will take to the slope. Each run takes a little less than two minutes.

So if you assume a minute of time beyond the actual run, that adds up to 36 minutes from the 5:30 start before Vonn would go.

If each run uses two minutes of non-skiing, then it would be 48 minutes for the first 12 competitors.

Vonn will definitely make her first run down the slope before 6:30 a.m. ET.

It's hard to pinpoint it too closely beyond that.

It's also worth noting: Breezy Johnson, the other American competitor, is sixth in the order. It should take about half the time to get to Breezy as it does to Vonn.

The other Americans, Jackie Wiles and Bella Wright, will go 17th and 24th in the 36-skier field.

What time will Lindsey Vonn know if she won a medal?

If we extrapolate the math out, this event should take more than 90 minutes to complete, and potentially between two and three hours. 

The absolute earliest we'd have the final results here would be sometime after 7 a.m. ET. Given that there will be time for potentially injured athletes, it may get closer to 8 a.m. ET.
