Lindsey Vonn keeping return to skiing on table despite injuries: 'I don't like to close the door on anything'
Lindsey Vonn was aiming for Olympic gold last month in Italy, but a crash led to five surgeries that saved her leg from being amputated.
In one of her first runs at the Milan Cortina Olympics, fresh off a ruptured ACL she suffered a week before the Games, Vonn fell, resulting in a compound fracture of her leg.
Vonn also needed a blood transfusion due to the amount of blood lost during the surgeries, including one that required "a lot of plates and screws" and took nearly six hours.
