Lindsey Vonn said Monday in a post on Instagram that she suffered a complex tibia fracture “that will require multiple surgeries to fix properly” when she crashed in the downhill Sunday.
Vonn raced the downhill despite having torn the ACL in her left knee nine days earlier in another crash.
“I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash. My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever,” she wrote.
