Lindsey Vonn crashes on training run and fractures ankle
Lindsey Vonn celebrates on the podium at the World Cup finals in Meribel, France, in March.
Add a broken ankle to the growing list of Lindsey Vonn’s injuries over the last few seasons.
Vonn, 30, announced on Thursday that she suffered a small fracture while training in New Zealand and planned to return to the U.S. for treatment.
“I will let you know when I have more info,” she tweeted.
A series of knee injuries and major surgeries forced Vonn to miss the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Last season, she returned to win eight World Cup races, improving her total to a record 67 victories.
Vonn has said that she hopes to race in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
