- American fit enough to ski down hill after treatment
- 34-year-old set to retire at end of world championships
Lindsey Vonn crashed in the super-G at the world championships on Tuesday, straddling a gate mid-air and ending up in the safety nets. Vonn, however, got up and skied down the hill after being tended to by medical personnel.
“Everyone was screaming as she crashed jumping through the gates,” Austrian racer Nicole Schmidhofer said. “That’s Lindsey. She [goes] 100% or nothing. That’s why she has won so many races and why she’s an Olympic champion.”
