Lindsey Vonn’s father said Monday that the American superstar will no longer race if he has any influence over her decision and that she will not return to the Winter Olympics after breaking her leg in the downhill over the weekend. Vonn says she sustained complex tibia fracture during Olympic crash that will require multiple surgeries to fix. “She’s 41 years old and this is the end of her career,” Alan Kildow said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it.” Kildow and the rest of Vonn’s family — a brother and two sisters, too — have been with Vonn while she is being treated at a hospital in Treviso following her fall and helicopter evacuation from the course in Cortina on Sunday. The hospital late Sunday released a statement saying Vonn had undergone surgery on her left leg and the U.S. Ski Team said she was in stable condition. There have not been other updates since. Kildow declined to comment on details of Vonn’s injuries, but he did address how she was doing emotionally. “She’s a very strong individual,” Kildow said. “She knows physical pain and she understands the circumstances that she finds herself in. And she’s able to handle it. Better than I expected. She’s a very, very strong person. And so I think she’s handling it real well.” Kildow — a former ski racer himself who taught his daughter to race — said he slept in his daughter’s hospital room overnight. “She has somebody with her — or multiple people with her — at all times,” Kildow said. “We’ll have people here as long as she’s here.” Kildow and the rest of Vonn’s family watched the crash from the finish area with all of the other spectators. “First, the shock and the horror of the whole thing, seeing a crash like that,” Kildow said of what he felt watching the scene unfold. “It can be dramatic and traumatic. You’re just horrified at what those kinds of impacts have. “You can go into a shock an emotional psychological shock,” he added. “Because it’s difficult to just accept what’s happened. But she’s well cared for. … And the USOC and the U.S. Ski team have a very, very top-notch doctor with her and she is being very well cared for here in Italy.” Vonn raced the downhill despite tearing the ACL in her left knee nine days earlier in another crash. “What happened to her had nothing to do with the ACL issue on her left leg. Nothing,” Kildow said. “She had demonstrated that she was able to function at a very high level with the two downhill training runs. … And she had been cleared by high level physicians to ski.” Kildow said the crash was less a result of Vonn’s knee injury than the way she pushed the limits of her racing line to the point where she clipped a gate early in her run and got knocked out of control. “There are times sometimes in any race, but especially in downhill, where you have to take a little speed off,” he said. “You can give yourself a little bit more leeway on the line so you don’t put yourself in a questionable position.” Vonn, who holds the record of 12 World Cup victories in Cortina, returned to the circuit last season after nearly six years of retirement and after a partial titanium replacement surgery in her right knee. She won two downhills and finished on the podium in seven of the eight World Cup races that she finished this season — and came fourth in the other one. “She won 84 World Cup races. And not many people do that,” Kildow said, referring to Vonn’s victory total, which place her second on the all-time women’s list behind teammate Mikaela Shiffrin’s record 108 wins. “And there’s a hell of a lot of the difference between a speed race, a downhill especially, and a slalom,” Kildow added. Vonn will not return to the Olympics to cheer on teammates or for anything else, Kildow said. “No, she’s not that in kind of situation,” he said. “She will be going home at an appropriate point in time.”

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance translated into an immediate surge in global listening, with new data from Apple Music showing sharp gains across streaming charts, playlists and music discovery platforms in the hours following the show. Apple Music, a Super Bowl halftime show sponsor, said Monday that Bad Bunny's show playlist became the most-played set list on the music streaming platform shortly after the performance. The Puerto Rican superstar went on to dominate the Apple Music Daily Top 100 Global chart, landing 23 songs in the Top 100, including nine in the Top 25 and five in the Top 10. His track “DtMF” rose to No. 1. Several of the charting songs marked notable returns. Six of the 23 tracks re-entered the daily Top 100 Global for the first time since at least February 2025. His collaboration on the song “I Like It” with Cardi B and J Balvin re-entered the chart for the first time since January 2020. Apple Music data also showed widespread international momentum. On Monday, Bad Bunny’s album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” appeared on album charts in 155 countries, reaching the Top 10 in 128 countries and hitting No. 1 in 46, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Germany, France and Spain. In the United States, Apple Music reported that the top cities for Bad Bunny listening over a six-day span were Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Dallas. Music discovery platform Shazam reflected a similar spike in engagement. Apple Music said his performance Sunday marked the biggest day ever on Shazam for any Latin or non-English-language artist. Across Bad Bunny’s catalog, Shazam recognitions increased by more than 400% during and immediately following the halftime show compared to the daily average. Among the most-Shazamed moments during the performance were “Die with a Smile” featuring Lady Gaga and “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii,” with Ricky Martin. While streaming platforms such as Spotify also report post-event listening trends, Apple Music’s data reflects immediate listening and discovery activity captured in the hours following the halftime show. The figures combine streaming behavior with Shazam recognition and geographic patterns, offering an early look at how the performance translated into audience engagement, ahead of broader industry reports that typically follow later. The surge follows years of growth for Bad Bunny on the platform, according to Oliver Schusser, vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “We have had the pleasure of working with Bad Bunny since 2016, and watching him grow into this massive global superstar has been incredible and exciting, but not at all surprising,” Schusser said. “His fans on Apple Music are very engaged, and I think these numbers reflect his huge influence and impact on music culture.”

Josh opens the show by diving into what everyone is talking about after the Super Bowl — and it’s not the game, but the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. He explains why the performance struck many viewers as more divisive than unifying and examines how the NFL’s cultural messaging has shifted in recent years. Josh also breaks down why some conservatives have taken issue with the halftime choice and argues that many critics are missing the larger point behind the backlash. He then turns to the growing controversy surrounding comments from several U.S. Olympians regarding ICE agents, and what their remarks reveal about the broader cultural climate. Josh also discusses last week’s moment involving the New York City mayor quoting the Quran, tying it into what he sees as a larger cultural and political shift impacting the country. To close the show, Josh looks at rising tensions with Iran and previews the upcoming meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump, explaining why the conversation could carry major implications for the region and beyond.
