Lindsey Vonn says her leg could have been amputated if not for the heroics of her doctor as she reflected on her horror crash at the Winter Olympics after finally leaving hospital.
American skier Vonn, who was a major contender in the women’s downhill, clipped a gate and fell heavily in Cortina. on Sunday 8 February. She had to be airlifted to hospital and over the past fortnight has undergone multiple surgeries on a complex leg fracture.
