Lindsey Vonn: Back on the slopes after dogfight injury

CNN  

Story highlights Lindsey Vonn suffers thumb injury after attempting to break up dogfight U.S. star forced to undergo surgery at hospital Vonn set to return to competition at Aspen on November 28 Julia Mancuso ruled out for the season CNN — When it comes to thumb injuries, Lindsey Vonn doesn’t seem to be having much luck. The U.S. ski star was forced to undergo hospital treatment on her thumb after attempting to break up a fight between her two dogs, Leo and Bear. Mancuso, who missed the World Cup Finals in March after falling during the giant slalom at Are, Sweden, in December 2014, was troubled by injury last season. And after missing the season-opener last month, Mancuso has set her sights on making sure she’s back to her best by the time the Winter Olympics comes around in 2018.
