Lindsey Vonn is still recovering physically and emotionally from her frightening crash at the Winter Olympics. For now, the tough decisions about the future can wait.
The American ski racer has undergone eight surgeries after suffering a complex left leg fracture – one that nearly led to a leg amputation – in the women’s downhill skiing race on February 8 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. She needs at least one more to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in that same knee.
