Being back in the USA 'feels amazing', says Vonn
Lindsey Vonn said "being back on home soil feels amazing" after returning to the United States having undergone four operations on the broken leg she suffered in the crash which dashed her hopes of Winter Olympics glory.
The 41-year-old ski star had been in hospital in the northeastern Italian city of Treviso since her heavy fall in the women's downhill at the Milan-Cortina Games on February 8.
Vonn said that although she is still unable to stand, returning home had boosted her morale.
"Haven't stood on my feet in over a week... been in a hospital bed immobile since my race," she said in a social media post.
"And although I'm not yet able to stand, being back on home soil feels amazing #imhome #BeLv. Huge thank you to everyone in Italy for taking good care of me."
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.
