Olympic gold medalist and American ski star Lindsey Vonn continued to defy the odds on Friday when she completed her first training session in the women’s Alpine skiing downhill just a week after she completely tore her ACL in a World Cup race.
Vonn, wearing the No. 10 bib and a knee brace on her left knee, successfully completed her run on a day when fog delayed skiers waiting for their turn at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The 41-year-old champion skier will make her return to the Winter Olympics in the women’s downhill on Sunday.
Her official training run was completed in 1:40.33.
