Vonn reveals shin injury
Lindsey Vonn’s quest for Olympic glory appears in jeopardy.
Vonn revealed to NBC’s Matt Lauer yesterday that she has a deep bruise on her shin, an injury suffered during a training run last week.
“When I tried my boot on, I was just standing there in the hotel room barely flexing forward, and it was excruciatingly painful,” she said. “I’ve got to try to ski downhill at 75, 80 miles an hour with a lot of forces pushed up against my shin.
“I don’t know honestly if I’ll be able to do it.”
