Lindsey Vonn shared her first update since this weekend’s dramatic crash in the downhill event at the Milan Cortina Olympics. The Olympic veteran had the eyes of the world watching as she competed in the event almost a week after tearing her ACL in a training run. Vonn was roughly 13 secon ds into the race on Sunday when she clipped a gate with her pole and tumbled to the ground. She had to be airlifted off the mountain. On Monday, the 41-year-old shared her first words since the crash. “Yesterday my Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would. It wasn’t a story book ending or a fairy tail, it was just life,” the Olympian wrote on social media. “I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever.” According to Vonn, she sustained a complex tibia fracture and will need multiple surgeries in order to properly recover. “While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets,” her post continued. “Sometimes we don’t achieve the dreams we know we could have. But that is the also the beauty of life; we can try.” “I tried. I dreamt. I jumped.” Vonn’s crash crumbled her Olympic comeback. The 41-year-old returned to the sport after retiring in 2019.
