Lindsey Vonn not ready to decide if she'll ski again after Olympics ...
Lindsey Vonn is still recovering physically and emotionally from her frightening crash at the Winter Olympics. For now, the tough decisions about the future can wait.The American ski racer has undergone eight surgeries after suffering a complex left leg fracture – one that nearly led to a leg amputation – in the women’s downhill skiing race on February 8 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. She needs at least one more to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in that same knee.Recommended Stories list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4Man Utd hail Mainoo as one of ‘most naturally gifted’ as 5-year-deal signedlist 2 of 4‘Win for Kenya’: Marathon record-breaker Sawe returns to hero’s welcomelist 3 of 4Arsenal cruelly denied penalty by VAR in Champions League draw at Atleticolist 4 of 4Sri Lanka’s government ‘temporarily’ takes over cricket boardend of listSo if the 41-year-old races again — and she’s not ready to make that decision — a return is at least a year and a half away, Vonn told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.“I just don’t want to jump to any conclusions or even speculate on what I might do,” Vonn said. “I may retire.

She ended a six-year absence from the sport largely to race at Cortina, one of her favorite courses, and the venue for the Milan Cortina Games.The winner of three Olympic medals, including a downhill gold in 2010, Vonn crashed just 13 seconds into the race and suffered a complex tibia fracture, shocking a star-studded crowd and ending a season in which she led the World Cup downhill standings and had not finished worse than fourth in any race.She has returned from an assortment of injuries before – she has a titanium implant in her right knee – but this one was different. The pain was different. The eight surgeries are just one shy of the total she had for all the others combined.“It’s a much different injury in that way, again, like the severity of the injury and understanding that I could have lost my leg and how bad things were,” Vonn said. “I can deal with a lot of pain, but this was so extreme. It’s not even been in the universe of pain with this injury as what I’ve had before.”Vonn is making progress in and out of the gym, though not as quickly as she ...
