Lindsey Vonn Still Uncertain About Future Following Crash at Olympics
- On Wednesday, Lindsey Vonn told The Associated Press she remains undecided about her skiing future while recovering from a severe crash at the Winter Olympics.
- During the women's downhill race in Cortina, Italy, Vonn suffered a complex tibia fracture that nearly required leg amputation, ending her six-year absence at the Milan Cortina Games venue.
- Eight surgeries have been endured, and Vonn faces at least one more to repair a torn ACL; she explained that a return to competition would take at least a year and a half to reach 100% capacity.
- Vonn emphasized that she may never race again and feels fine with that, noting she is currently in "survival mode" while holding 84 World Cup wins, second only to teammate Mikaela Shiffrin .
- Beyond her physical recovery, Vonn recently traveled to New York to support biopharmaceutical company Invivyd's "Antibodies for Any Body" campaign, with no competitive return possible until '27-28.
