It was disclosed today that American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn suffered a shin injury in training last week. She has not been able to ski since then and is questionable for the Olympics.
The injury is a bruise on her shin where the top of her boot sits, causing significant pain. Vonn is the favorite to win gold in the downhill and super G, but even if she is able to ski will the time missed lessen her level of preparation? She was unable to walk for two days and had a press conference in Vancouver on Wednesday.
Fortunately for Vonn, the weather in Vancouver has been poor so the events could be delayed, giving her time to heal. Unfortunately, her best events are in week one, with her weaker events at the end of the Games.
