Lindsey Vonn was discharged from a hospital in Italy on Sunday morning and headed to the airport to return to the United States, Reuters reported.
Vonn was admitted to Ca’ Foncello Hospital in Treviso after a devastating crash in the women’s downhill at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Feb. 8.
The 41-year-old had come out of retirement to race in the Winter Games.
She has had four surgeries on her injured left leg since the crash. It occurred when her arm hooked around a gate, sending her flying into the snow and causing a complex tibia fracture just 13 seconds into the race.
Vonn was competing through a torn ACL in her left knee sustained nine days prior to her event in the final tune-up race at Crans-Montana, Switzerland, the latest hurdle in an injury-plagued career that saw her win three Olympic medals (one gold) and more than 80 World Cup races before initially retiring in 2019.
