Vonn hoping to return to USA after fourth surgery on broken leg
Lindsey Vonn said Friday that she is hoping to return to the United States once she undergoes a planned fourth surgery on the broken leg she suffered in the crash which dashed her hopes of Winter Olympics glory.
The American ski star has been in hospital in the northeastern Italian city of Treviso since her heavy fall in the women's downhill at the Milan-Cortina Games last weekend, and will go under the knife again on Saturday.
"I'm finally feeling more like myself but I have a long long way to go," said a visibly drained Vonn in a video on Instagram.
"Tomorrow, I'll have another surgery and hopefully that goes well and then I can potentially leave and go back home, at which point I'll need another surgery.
"That's kind of where I am right now. I am just in the hospital, very much immobile, but I have a lot of friends and family coming to visit."
Vonn, the 2010 Olympic downhill champion, fractured the tibia in her left leg while making an audacious attempt for a medal after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee of the same leg last month.
The American had resumed her career in late 2024 after nearly six years in retirement and was considered a strong favourite for the downhill at the Winter Olympics before she suffered the ACL injury in a crash in Crans Montana, Switzerland.
