With braces on both knees, Vonn struggles with aerodynamics

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — With 82 wins and counting, Lindsey Vonn still looks very much like the most successful women’s ski racer in history. I can’t expect everything all the time and today is just a good place to start and I’ll fix things for tomorrow and ski the course the way I know how.” Vonn needs five more wins to break the all-time record of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark before she retires after races in Lake Louise, Alberta, in December. “It’s gone off quite a few times when I’ve crashed,” Vonn said. I think that’s as much as really you can have, besides arm braces at this point.” Even with all that hardware, Vonn still feels pain in her knees when she lands long jumps. “I’m going to change my underwear and change my race suit,” Vonn said.
