Lindsey Vonn cannot be broken.
Her bones and other body parts, yes. But her spirit and resilience remains unshakeable.
It's been two months since her horrific crash during the downhill at the Milano Cortina Olympics, which left her with a compound fracture and tibial plateau fracture in her left leg, as well as a broken right ankle. Though she is still on crutches — she should be off them with in the month — she's starting to resume a normal life. She was able to travel to Los Angeles this week, and being around people again has been wonderful, she said.
There are still moments of sadness and pain and disappointment, but Vonn is determined to keep forging ahead. Just as she always has.
"Because I've been through so much, I think that it's allowed me to keep fighting and keep a good perspective," Vonn told USA TODAY Sports on April 7. "And while I do get very low at times, I think I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can still try to keep that positive mindset.
