Lindsey Vonn Still Learning to Walk After Olympic Crash, Reveals Mental Struggle

American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn is still learning to walk normally more than two months after her devastating crash at the Olympic downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo. The 40-year-old former Olympic champion, who had returned to competitive skiing after nearly six years in retirement, crashed just 13 seconds into the race and was airlifted from the course by helicopter. Vonn has opened up about the harsh reality facing injured athletes, revealing that while she speaks publicly about her comeback plans, she sometimes imagines at home that she won gold at the Olympics. The crash occurred during what many viewed as her comeback race, marking a dramatic end to her highly anticipated return to World Cup competition. Her current focus remains on basic rehabilitation as she works to regain normal mobility.
