Milano Cortina Downhill, Will Lindsey do it?

[haraldo]

A broken leg isn’t bad given the video of the fall looked really terrible. Being in a hospital in northern Italy isn’t the worst thing either.

Haraldo, you forgot to list the Apollo missions Astronauts launched on top of millions of gallons of highly unstable fuel and rode 250,000 miles to the moon in a contraption where the walls were so thin in places to poke through with a screwdriver.

Point is, risk is part of the game when the stakes are high. And Vonn didn’t risk anyone but herself by skiing.

Apollo 8 .... OMG ..... do I have to say more

I think obviously we are seeing: armchair experts quick to share what the Olympic champion should have done.

Didn't see a video only a couple of still shots. Looked like she got whipped, entangled two polls close. And at the speed she must have been come down, it is not just a swipe by a pole, and she also got screwed up in her skies from that impact.

I saw a clip that Vonn was too close to the gate ...... her right arm getting entangled into the gate, immediately pushing her into an unrecoverable rotation.... just crazy bad luck, could possibly have happened to anyone doing that downhill race

So when people say it is reckless because of her ACL problems .... I reckon they have absolutely zero idea what they are talking about !!!!

I guess there are some members in here that know better than the Lindsey Vonn team, so maybe to contact the team and provide some learning experience to the world class team !
- Lindsey Vonn, Olympic Champion, two times world champion , 145 world cup podiums
- Aksel Lund Svindal, two times olympic champion, 5 times world champion, 80 world cup podiums


OMG, how bad luck is this

The break is bad, but not so bad that it will keep her down. I will require multiple surgeries. Her statement about it though, is quite excellent. (excerpts)

I heard some guy asking .... will we see Lindsey Vonn in the olympics four years from now
