CORTINA d’AMPEZZO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn has a complex fracture in her tibia that will require multiple surgeries.
Vonn made her first comments since her horrific crash in the Olympic downhill Sunday, Feb. 8, saying in an Instagram post that she knew the risks involved.
"While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets,” Vonn said. "Standing in the starting gate yesterday was an incredible feeling that I will never forget. Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself.
“I also knew that racing was a risk. It always was and always will be an incredibly dangerous sport.”
