Lindsey Vonn, known as the most decorated American downhill skier in history, is facing the most serious battle of her career after a catastrophic crash at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics left her with what doctors describe as a “complex tibia fracture.”
Last Sunday (February 8) the 41-year-old was heard screaming on the course during the downhill final before being stretchered off the mountain and airlifted to hospital. She has since undergone three surgeries.
Now, a leading French orthopedic specialist has delivered a harsh assessment of what lies ahead.
