Lindsey Vonn Weighs Another Comeback After Devastating Olympic Crash

Her decision hinges on recovery from a complex leg fracture.

Overview

  • In an NBC Today interview Tuesday, the 41-year-old said she is considering racing again and has not made a decision.
  • She said the lack of a proper farewell run is pushing her to consider one more race to say goodbye.
  • She added that her father’s claim that her career was over after the crash spurred her to keep the door open.
  • The February downhill in Cortina d’Ampezzo left her with a complex shin fracture, led to multiple surgeries, and, by her account, nearly resulted in an amputation.
  • She remains in months of rehab with daily therapy, hyperbaric chamber sessions, and gym work, and recovery is expected to take about a year.
