Lindsey Vonn stands by decision to race after crash

Lindsey Vonn suffered a complex tibia fracture during her downhill run, requiring multiple surgeries, after crashing while competing despite a ruptured ACL sustained a week earlier. She expressed no regrets about racing, asserting that her crash was due to her arm hooking a gate and not her prior injury. While some criticized her decision to compete, teammates and fellow athletes defended her right to race, emphasizing the risks inherent in skiing. Vonn’s father, however, believes she should retire, stating her career is effectively over at 41.
