The 41 US racer crashed heavily in Milan-Cortina 2026 after a fairytale comeback. She is now considering her future.
Three-times Olympic medallist suffered a complex tibia fracture in the crash.
“It’s definitely something that, you know, I want to think about, but I honestly can’t,” Vonn said of her competitive future in an interview with Reuters.
“I’ve tried and I can’t really make a decision one way or the other because I haven’t really processed where I am even right now.”
Vonn has had eight surgeries since the crash and at one point it was feared her leg might need to be amputated.
Vonn announced her retirement in 2019 and then staged a comeback in 2024.
“There’s definitely closure that’s missing,” she said of her Olympic comeback
“It wasn’t the way I wanted to end my second chapter of my career, definitely not the way I wanted it to finish the Olympics.”
