"I just don't want to jump to any conclusions or even speculate on what I might do. I may retire. I may never race again and that would be completely fine, but I'm not in a position emotionally to make that decision at this point."
"It's a much different injury in that way, again, like the severity of the injury and understanding that I could have lost my leg and how bad things were."
"I can deal with a lot of pain, but this was so extreme. It's not even been in the universe of pain with this injury as what I've had before."
"Regardless, nothing would really happen until [the 2027-28 season] because I still have one more surgery left to take out the metal and to replace my ACL."
Lindsey Vonn is recovering from a complex left leg fracture sustained during the Winter Olympics, which nearly led to amputation. She has undergone eight surgeries and requires at least one more for a torn ACL. Vonn is unsure if she will race again, stating she may retire. The severity of this injury is unprecedented for her, causing extreme pain. Although she is making progress, she is still on crutches and anticipates a lengthy recovery period before considering a return to skiing.
