Vonn defied her doubters to race in the Olympics on a torn ACL, but her comeback dream ended with a broken left leg. Most people would want to hide after such a setback — but Vonn isn't most people.

In a recent video, the Olympic skier credits her surgeon with saving her leg from potential amputation.

The 41-year-old star said her torn ACL was not a factor in her crash. "While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets," she wrote.

Vonn was seen clutching her left knee after crashing in a race in Switzerland on Friday, the last before the Winter Olympics. Her comeback after retiring in 2019 was one of Team USA's biggest stories.

This week's news coverage featured more Greenland drama than usual. And if you've been paying attention to it all, you'll get at least one question right.

The decorated skier returned to the sport after six years away due to an injury and has already made a splash.

The record-setting skier once notched speeds that would be illegal on most U.S. highways — until knee injuries slowed her down and she retired in 2019. Now Vonn says she's ready to return to racing.

Her 83rd victory in Italy on Tuesday leaves only one athlete ahead of Shiffrin: Ingemar Stenmark. The legendary Swedish skier has said he thinks Shiffrin will win more than 100 races.

Mikaela Shiffrin, 27, ties Lindsey Vonn's record for the most alpine World Cup wins for a woman. Shiffrin also has two Olympic gold medals and six world championships.
