Lindsey Vonn Defies Odds, Will Compete at Milan Cortina Olympics Despite Severe Injury.
American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn, 41, will attempt to defy the odds and compete in the upcoming Winter Olympics despite suffering a severe ACL rupture. The injury occurred during a recent World Cup downhill event in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, where she lost control coming out of a jump and crashed into a safety net.
Vonn's determination to compete has been inspiring, as she admits that her chances of success have significantly decreased due to the severity of her injury. "I know what my chances were before the crash and I know my chances aren't the same as it stands today," she said in an interview with reporters. However, she remains optimistic, stating, "But I know there's still a chance, and as long as there's a chance, I will try."
Vonn's decision to compete despite her injury has sparked both support and concern from fans and fellow athletes alike. The skiing world witnessed Vonn's remarkable comeback earlier this year, as she entered the Switzerland World Cup event ranked first in the women's downhill. However, with her current condition, many are questioning whether she is ready for the grueling demands of Olympic competition.
Vonn's Olympic history is filled with achievements, including three gold medals and numerous World Cup victories. Her determination to compete once more is a testament to her unwavering passion for the sport.

she's an athlete, innit? we all know injuries happen in sports but thats what makes it challenging & exciting! lol @ ppl who think shes gonna just retire now cuz of a tiny injury 
. shes a legend, a skiing icon, and if she thinks shes still got the skills 2 compete then why not?! 
its all about mental toughness & physical determination 
... btw, can u imagine if other athletes just gave up on themselves cuz of a minor setback? 
thatd be even more scary 
I'm literally on the edge of my seat right now!!! Lindsey Vonn is like a superhero or something! 41 and still wanting to give it her all? 
It's gonna be tough, but I'm rooting for her all the way! 
... I mean, it's crazy how fast time flies! She's got some serious guts trying to compete in the Olympics with that bad knee tho 
️. I mean, she's basically defying the odds, and it's hard not to admire her tenacity. At 41, most people would be hanging up their skis for good, but this woman is still all about pushing herself to be the best 
.
.
. Bring it on, Lindsey!
... Lindsey Vonn is like, soooo inspiring 
She's been through so much and still wants to give it a shot. That takes a lot of courage and dedication. I'm sending all my positive vibes her way 
... hope she can make it happen without making herself worse 
... but honestly, if anyone can do it, it's Lindsey Vonn 
!
. Of course, we've got our concerns for her safety, but at the end of the day, Lindsey Vonn is a legend for a reason 
. I'm rooting for her all the way! 
Lindsey Vonn is a total legend 
. She's got this! 
Her comeback story last year was insane 
, and now she's doing it all again. The skiing world needs her energy & vibes 
. I know some people are worried about her chances, but Lindsey's always been a fighter 
. She'll give it her all, and that's what matters 
️
she's been through so much already & another Olympics might take its toll on that knee... but at the same time, you can't deny the impact her comeback has had on all of us who love watching her ski 
it's inspiring to see someone push themselves to the limit like this, even if it means risking further injury 
seems like she's got a lot of guts though, gotta respect that 
and this just shows how much she loves her sport. wish her luck (and her knee) for milan cortina 
. I get it, she's a legend and wants to go out on top, but is she being realistic here? The fact that fans are both supportive and concerned tells me that not everyone shares her enthusiasm 
i mean who else can say they've won 3 gold medals and still wanna push thru pain? 
milan cortina here we come!!!
