Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn confirmed Tuesday that she will compete in the Milan Cortina Games, just days after the American skier suffered a terrifying scare at a World Cup race in Switzerland.
Vonn, 41, made the announcement during a news conference amid speculation that her return to the sport was in jeopardy following a crash in Crans-Montana. Vonn was airlifted from the course after she appeared to lose control while attempting to land a jump in her final run.
Vonn confirmed in a social media post hours after her crash that she had injured her left knee.
