41세의 린드sey 본은 동계올림픽에서의 충격적인 크래시로부터 신체적, 정서적으로 회복 중이며, 만약 다시 경주한다면 최소 1년 반 후가 될 것으로 생각하고 있다.
린드sey 본은 동계올림픽에서의 충격적인 크래시로부터 여전히 신체적, 정서적으로 회복 중이다. 41세의 본이 다시 경주할지 여부는 아직 결정할 준비가 되지 않았으며, 만약 복귀한다면 최소 1년 반 후일 것으로 생각한다.
2월 8일 여성 활강 스키 경주에서 복잡한 왼쪽 다리 골절을 입었으며, 이는 거의 다리 절단으로 이어질 뻔했다. 그녀는 8번의 수술을 받았고 같은 무릎의 파열된 전방십자인대를 복구하기 위해 최소 1번 이상의 추가 수술이 필요하다.
본은 AP와의 수요일 인터뷰에서 "결론을 내리거나 내가 할 수 있을 일에 대해 추측하고 싶지 않다"고 말했다. "은퇴할 수도 있고, 다시는 경주하지 않을 수도 있으며 그것도 완전히 괜찮지만, 현재로서는 감정적으로 그 결정을 내릴 준비가 되지 않았다."
본은 6년의 부재 후 복귀를 결정했고 주로 그녀가 좋아하는 코스이자 밀란-코르티나 게임스의 개최지인 이탈리아 코르티나에서 경주하기 위해 돌아왔다. 올림픽 메달 3개의 수상자로서 2010년 활강 금메달리스트인 본은 경주 시작 13초 만에 크래시했고 복잡한 경골 골절을 입었으며, 이는 유명인으로 가득한 관중을 놀라게 했고 그녀가 월드컵 활강 선두에 있었고 어떤 경주에서도 4위 이하로 끝나지 않은 시즌을 끝내게 했다.
그녀는 과거에 다양한 부상에서 회복했지만 이번은 달랐다. 그녀는 휠체어를 벗어나 현재 목발을 사용 중이며, 다음 주부터는 짧은 거리를 걸을 수 있을 것이다.
본은 이번 주 뉴욕을 방문했으며 바이오의약품 회사 Invivyd의 "Antibodies for Any Body" 캠페인 지원에 대해 논의했고, 곧 휴가 계획이 있다.
본은 의사와 스키 복귀에 대해 논의하지 않았다고 말했으며, 회복의 현재 단계에 집중하는 것을 선호한다고 했다.
"어쨌든 2027-28년까지는 정말 아무것도 일어나지 않을 것이다. 왜냐하면 나는 여전히 금속을 제거하고 전방십자인대를 교체하기 위한 수술이 1번 더 남아있기 때문이다. 전방십자인대가 고쳐진 후, 그것은 또 다른 6개월이므로, 나는 100%로 돌아가기 전에 최소 1년 반이 필요하다"고 본은 말했다.
본은 복귀에 위험이 있을 수 있음을 알고 있으며, 가족들은 그녀가 그런 위험을 감수하지 않기를 원한다. 그녀의 아버지는 크래시 하루 후 병원에 있을 때 자신의 의견이라면 그녀의 경력이 끝날 것이라고 말했다. 본은 "그는 최선의 의도를 가지고 있다. 나와 관련된 기본 규칙은 너희가 내가 뭔가를 하지 말라고 하면 내가 그것을 증명해 보이겠다는 것이다"라고 말했다.
본은 활강 스키가 세계에서 가장 위험한 스포츠 중 하나이며, 그것은 항상 기꺼이 감수한 위험이고 이것이 그 결과이며 후회하지 않는다고 말했다.

NEW YORK (AP) — Lindsey Vonn is still recovering physically and emotionally from her frightening crash at the Winter Olympics. For now, the tough decisions about the future can wait.
She has undergone eight surgeries after suffering a complex left leg fracture — one that nearly led to a leg amputation — in the women’s downhill skiing race on Feb. 8. She needs at least one more to repair a torn ACL in that same knee.
So if the 41-year-old races again — and she’s not ready to make that decision — a return is at least a year and a half away, Vonn told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday.
“I just don’t want to jump to any conclusions or even speculate on what I might do,” Vonn said. “I may retire. I may never race again and that would be completely fine, but I’m not in a position emotionally to make that decision at this point.”
Vonn thinks she would have returned to retirement had she been able to complete a comeback season that rivaled one of the best of her career. She ended a six-year absence from the sport largely to race at Cortina, Italy, one of her favorite courses, and the venue for the Milan Cortina Games.
The winner of three Olympic medals, including a downhill gold in 2010, crashed just 13 seconds into the race and suffered a complex tibia fracture, shocking a star-studded crowd and ending a season in which she led the World Cup downhill standings and hadn’t finished worse than fourth in any race.
She’s returned from an assortment of injuries before — she has a titanium implant in her right knee — but this one was different. The pain was different. The eight surgeries are just one shy of the total she had for all the others combined.
“It’s a much different injury in that way, again, like the severity of the injury and understanding that I could have lost my leg and how bad things were,” Vonn said. “I can deal with a lot of pain, but this was so extreme. It’s not even been in the universe of pain with this injury as what I’ve had before.”
Vonn is making progress in and out of the gym, though not as quickly as she would like. She has moved beyond a wheelchair and now is on crutches — she is weary of both — and next week will be able to begin walking short distances.
She is able to travel again, making a trip to New York this week to discuss her support for the biopharmaceutical company Invivyd’s “Antibodies for Any Body” campaign, and she has an upcoming vacation planned.
Vonn said she hasn’t spoken to her doctor about what a return to skiing would look like, saying they both prefer to focus on this phase of her recovery.
“Regardless, nothing would really happen until ’27-28 because I still have one more surgery left to take out the metal and to replace my ACL. That still needs to happen,” Vonn said. “Once I get my ACL fixed, then that’s another six months, so I have at least I would say a year and a half ahead of me before I could really be back to 100%, even just training in the gym.”
Vonn knows there could be risks in a return, and family members don’t want her to take them. It was only a day after her crash, when she was still in the hospital, that her father said her career would be over if it were up to him. Said Vonn: “He means the best. He forgot the cardinal rule with me is that if you don’t want me to do something, you shouldn’t tell me I can’t. Tell me I can’t and I’ll prove you wrong.”
Vonn has never shied from taking chances — she raced in the Olympics a little more than a week after tearing her ACL — no matter how they turned out.
“Downhill skiing is one of the most dangerous sports in the world, and that’s a risk that I’ve always taken happily, and this is the result, and I don’t regret it,” said Vonn, who noted she had done all she could to be fully prepped for the race. “I don’t want a do-over.”
But she will at some point decide if she wants to race again.
For now, Vonn said she’s focused simply on getting her leg healthy. Only after that’s done can she start thinking about a career that may or may not be over.
“I’m still, like I said, in survival mode that I just want to get through this phase and be able to assess where I am in my life,” said Vonn, whose 84 World Cup wins are second-most among women, trailing only teammate Mikaela Shiffrin (110). “And take count of what I’ve done and take count of what could be and make decisions in a much better place than where I am now.
“I don’t want to make a decision now because I think that would be rash and probably too emotional and I don’t want to make a mistake, you know?”
