Lindsey Vonn Injured in World Cup Training Fall

Lindsey Vonn reported feeling 'good' after a fall during a World Cup downhill training run in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, stating she only sustained a few bruises. The protective air bag under her racing suit helped mitigate the impact, allowing her to ski to the finish area before receiving treatment in a medical tent. Vonn, who is 40 years old and recently returned to skiing after nearly six years of retirement with a titanium knee replacement, indicated her knee felt fine post-fall. She expressed optimism about racing this weekend, having finished fourth in a super-G event just days prior. While she broke one of her ski boots during the fall, she is assessing whether she needs new equipment before the upcoming races. Vonn holds the record for 12 wins in Cortina, the venue for next year’s Milan-Cortina Olympics.
