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