Lindsey Vonn was racing nine days after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee
American skier Lindsey Vonn says she has "no regrets" after a crash in the women's downhill competition at the Winter Olympics resulted in a "complex tibia fracture" which will require multiple surgeries.
The 41-year-old's arm got stuck in a gate just 13 seconds into her run on Sunday at Olimpia delle Tofane in Cortina, throwing her off balance.
She was treated on the slope for a lengthy period before being airlifted off the piste to Ca Foncello hospital in Treviso, where she underwent surgery on a fractured left leg.
The 2010 Olympic downhill champion was already racing with ruptured ligaments in her left knee but was determined to compete in her fifth and final Games.
