Despite suffering severe leg and ankle injuries during a crash at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, downhill skiing icon Lindsey Vonn isn’t yet ready to make a determination regarding her future in the sport.
Speaking Wednesday to Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press, Vonn said, “I just don’t want to jump to any conclusions or even speculate on what I might do. I may retire. I may never race again and that would be completely fine, but I’m not in a position emotionally to make that decision at this point.”
Despite tearing her ACL just two weeks before the start of the Olympics, Vonn decided to fight through it. However, she crashed just 13 seconds into her and first and only race of the Games, suffering a broken right ankle and complex fractures in her left leg, per ESPN’s Alyssa Roenigk.
