Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy – Lindsey Vonn said on Monday she had suffered a “complex tibia fracture” to her left leg in a heavy crash that brutally ended her hopes of winning the fourth Olympic medal of her career in a remarkable comeback.
In her first statement since the crash on Sunday, Vonn said she had suffered a complicated fracture of her tibia that would need “multiple surgeries to fix properly.”
But she insisted: “While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets.”
