After fourth operation: Vonn discharged from hospital!
Ski star Lindsey Vonn, who suffered a serious fall, reported again from the hospital in Treviso on Saturday. The American reported that her fourth operation had gone well and she is delighted that she can now return to the USA. Even after her fall at the Olympic Games, she is already thinking about skiing again. On Sunday, Vonn checked out of the hospital after a week-long stay and began her journey home.
The 41-year-old 2010 Olympic champion, who is also the second most successful female skier of all time, had suffered a complex tibia fracture. "The surgery today went well! Fortunately, I will finally be able to return to the US," Vonn said on Instagram. Once she returns, she will provide further updates on her injury. She will also have to undergo further surgery in the US.
"Was physically stronger"
She once again defended her decision to race. "I was willing to take risks, give everything, and make sacrifices for something I knew I could achieve. I'd rather take the risk of falling than not reach my potential and regret it later," Vonn explained. "And honestly, physically, I was stronger at that moment than I often had been before. Definitely stronger than at the end of my career in 2019, when I won the bronze medal at the World Championships," she added. Mentally, she was "more prepared than ever before."
"The love for skiing remains. I still look forward to the moment when I can stand at the top of a mountain once again. And I will," Vonn declared combatively.
