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.

Vonn fractured her ankle this past summer, and a major knee injury prevented her from competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

She has designs on making her Olympic return at Pyeongchang 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.
