Alpine skiing great Lindsey Vonn says she is still facing a “long road” as she works back from injury. She tore her ACL in a World Cup race in Switzerland on Jan. 30, one week before the start of the Milano Cortina Olympics, and the setback keeps her in recovery rather than competition.
Across outlets, Vonn describes the recovery timeline in general terms, noting that she is not yet back to full health. The Athletic reports that she is still waiting on ACL surgery and characterizes her situation as ongoing. Japan Times similarly points to the need for ACL repair as part of the return process. Other reported details about the timing and circumstances of her injury recovery vary by outlet, but both describe an extended rehabilitation period and no immediate return to full competition.
