Vonn's Sister: Comeback Road is Overwhelming
16 Feb
Summary
- Lindsey Vonn's sister describes her recovery as overwhelming.
- Vonn underwent multiple surgeries after an Olympic crash.
- Family remains focused on Vonn's strength and one-day-at-a-time approach.
Lindsey Vonn's sister, Karin Kildow, revealed that the Olympic skier's recovery following a significant crash at the Winter Games has been overwhelming. Vonn has been hospitalized extensively and undergone a series of surgeries for the injuries sustained during the downhill event.
Kildow described Vonn's rehabilitation as a challenging "rough one," noting the extensive hospital stays. Vonn, who was competing with a torn ACL, was airlifted off the mountain after crashing into safety netting, ending her medal hopes.
Despite the physical grind, Vonn's sister highlighted her immense strength and resilience. "She's very strong, she's getting through it... one day at a time," Kildow stated, reflecting Vonn's determined mindset, similar to her approach during her two-decade career.
This recovery follows a history of severe injuries, including torn ligaments and fractures, which have previously tested Vonn's athletic career. Her family remains a pillar of support, dismissing external criticism and focusing solely on Vonn's determined progress.
