Lindsey Vonn’s fifth and final Olympics ended in the one way she dreaded most of all. Moments into her run in the women’s downhill, Vonn’s legs failed her as she came over a roll after passing the third gate.

She twisted and crashed sideways to the ground, and after a first stunned burst of shouts and screams, the atmosphere around the Olimpia delle Tofane course fell deadly quiet while the medical team gathered around her. Fifteen minutes later, Vonn was airlifted from the mountain to hospital for treatment.

The idea of ubiquity became the foundation for both Ubitium's breakthrough product and its visual identity. Ubitium is shaping the future of computing through the development of a universal RISC-V microprocessor ? designed to simplify complexity and unlock new technological possibilities. This philosophy extends into the identity system itself. Built around the Ubitium logotype, the visual language behaves as a living structure ? transforming, expanding, and adapting to different environments and challenges. Just like the technology it represents, the identity balances clarity with depth: minimal in appearance, yet driven by sophisticated logic beneath the surface. Ubitium envisions a world where computing becomes seamless, flexible, and truly universal. Any code. Any algorithm. Any application.

LIVIGNO (ANP) - Snowboardster Michelle Dekker is er op de Olympische Spelen niet in geslaagd de kwartfinales op de parallelreuzenslalom te bereiken. De 29-jarige Nederlandse lag in haar achtste finale tegen de Oostenrijkse Sabine Payer lange tijd voorop, maar in het slot van haar race gaf ze die voorsprong in het Livigno Snow Park uit handen. Payer passeerde de finish 0,13 seconde eerder dan Dekker.

Dekker eindigde vier jaar geleden bij de Spelen in Beijing nog als vierde op de parallelreuzenslalom.
