Lindsey Vonn Leg Photo Shows Scars, Bruises From Skiing Injury
Lindsay Vonn’s leg looks “not very good.” And those are her words. The Olympic skier posted a photo of her leg to Instagram this weekend to show her fans the extent of her injuries.
And, in my words, it’s “not very good.”
Vonn’s leg is covered in bruises, cuts, bandages and scars. The 28-year-old world champion skier tore her anterior-cruciate and her medial-collateral knee ligaments. She also broke a bone in her lower leg and won’t be racing for the rest of the season.
Of course, it isn’t all bad news for Vonn. The skier, who joked that it would be a “long skirt summer,” underwent successful surgery last week. She is currently at home in Vail recovering with her family.
Vonn wrote on Facebook:
“Success! Surgery went very well yesterday and I’m recovering at home in Vail with my family. I want to sincerely thank everyone for their well wishes these last few days. It’s going to be a long and hard road back but I will be back!!”
Here’s Lindsey Vonn’s leg photo.
Vonn may be laid up for the next few weeks but she’s still training for her return to the mountain. Vonn posted this photo with the caption “When you fall you get back up.”
Are you a fan of Lindsey Vonn? What do you think of her leg photo? Do you think she’ll be able to return at top form?
Here’s the video of her crash at the World Championships in Austria from earlier this month.

Scars are O K. Tiger leaves scars that will never go away.

That's a true athlete… Just broke her leg and tore her knee up, already healing and training…..that's the difference between Champions and everyone else…..Good Luck.

Don't know if she can return but what I do know is that if anyone can return after that injury, she can.
Feb 18, 2013
She will make it.
Feb 18, 2013

I WAS A FAN OF HERS UNTIL SHE STARTED HANGIN WITH THAT LYEING, CHEATING PIECE OF DOG DUMP! NOW, I HOPE YOU NEVER SKI AGAIN! THEN SEE HOW LONG HE WANTS YOU! THE ROTTEN PIECE OF SH%$!
Feb 18, 2013
She can wrap those legs around me, and I'll kiss them and make them all well! Call me at BR-549!
Feb 18, 2013
Now, Now, Ron, you KNOW is not just a piece of dog dump! He's a piece of SH** that comes from the south end of a northbound bull!
Feb 18, 2013
Hope you get well soon

She will look as good as new in a year I'm sure of it from experience.
Feb 18, 2013
I agree 100% Ron.
Feb 18, 2013
I hope she can walk when she is 50.
Feb 18, 2013
Ron , she knew you were a stalker, she took action she knew you would deplore.
Feb 19, 2013
Just because she's dating Tiger Woods, it's pretty pathetic of you to wish she would never ski again or anything else bad. I highly doubt everyone approves of all your life choices.Could it be that she's a very forgiving person which obviously you aren't.
Feb 19, 2013
Ron is a "WEINER". Have you ever heard of being jealous. You probably can't golf either.

I personally don't see it happening. At twenty-eight the rehab time is going to be longer and much more difficult plus the motivation may just not be there by the time she can really consider training for competition. The rehab that she will have to attempt first is to just get her walking again, then she has to work on strengthening and building for competiton and I don't think she will be ready for at least two years and who knows if the motivation will be there. I hope that she can compete again, but I am not sure it is worth risking another injury that may cripple you for life. I am also a fan of Tiger Woods and if they are friends, then great. What he has done in the past has no bearing on how he is with her – we should all butt out of that as it is her business and hers alone. Good luck in all your endeavors, Miss Vonn.
