Lindsey Vonn breaks leg

[mspart]

The guy told her to break a leg and she did 15 seconds later.   

Personally, I think she was stupid to even try this after wrecking her left ACL 9 days before.   But as foolish as it was, the girl has guts.   Hopefully the surgery she went through to fix her leg will work and she won't be in a lifetime of pain and can get around normally.   A horrible way to leave your last race.   But she will be known for not backing down.

She looked good in the practice run day before think 3rd best time with Breezy 1st.  Looke like some how she caught the end of right pole on the gate which turned her sideways.  Looked like a good line just a bad fluke didn't have anything to do with the knee.

That's what it looked like I agree, but I can't help think that the knee had something to do with it.   She might say later on.    They had that bug filming right behind those guys and that is one scary course at those speeds.

Lindsey Vonn says torn ACL 'had nothing to do' with crash at Winter Olympics

"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," she said on Instagram in her first statement since Sunday's crash. "My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever."

"While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets."

I guess I stand corrected.

Others in history have raced before with the same injury.   And if history with elite athletes says anything this might not be her last raced either.   Sadly with all the surgeries she’s already had I have a feeling her older years will be in pain no matter what.  

[mspart]

that may very well be.   I remember when Garrett Lowney did that suplex on the Russian juggernaut in the Olympics.   He landed on his head and got a stinger.   He wrestled for Bronze and won it on a stinger'ed neck.   He got the medal but I don't think he ever fully recovered from that.
