Vonn Has Dealt with Injuries in Recent Years
The 31-year-old Vonn is a two-time gold medalist in the World Championships, and she won gold and bronze in the downhill and super-G, respectively, at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Vonnย fractured her ankleย this past summer, and aย major knee injuryย prevented her from competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
She has designs on making her Olympic return atย Pyeongchangย in 2018, but building momentum has proved difficult with so many ailments piling up.
Even so, she continues to thrive when healthy, as she won both the downhill and super-G World Cup titles in 2015. She leads the downhill, super-G and overall standings this year.
