Lindsey Vonn Leaves Comeback Door Open After Devastating Olympic Crash

Her on-air remarks signal a possible return despite family pleas to end her career.

Overview

  • Vonn told NBC’s Today on Tuesday that she might race again or take one last run to say goodbye.
  • Two months into recovery, she follows a daily program of two hours of therapy, two hours in a hyperbaric chamber and strength work at her home in Park City, Utah.
  • The Milan-Cortina downhill left her with complex breaks to her tibia, fibula and ankle and a torn ACL, injuries that doctors said nearly cost her leg.
  • Vonn retired in 2019 because of injuries and returned to competition in 2024, which helps explain why she is not closing the door now.
  • Her father told the Associated Press after the crash that her career was over at 41, a stance at odds with her new comments.
