Read: How Tiger and Vonn thwarted “stalkerazzi” Less than seven months later in September, Vonn clipped back into her skis on the slopes of Portillo, Chile, to test the reconstructed knee, insisting “I can’t tell which knee is injured” and that she was “skiing without fear.” Her plan is now to return to competitive skiing at the World Cup meeting in Beaver Creek, Colorado, from 29 November to 1 December. Ski Team, Dr Bill Sterett and we at Red Bull did everything possible to create an ideal rehab environment for Lindsey.” Early in that recovery process, Red Bull published a picture of Vonn, her knee heavily strapped on a medical bed doing exercises with the caption “not letting obstacles stand in her way.” Her program involved a strict calendar of rehab measurements and physical training but the physical side of things was only half of the battle. I couldn’t come back Austrian skier Hans Grugger “However, both Lindsey and Chemmy have developed excellent coping mechanisms, pushing aside thoughts of perhaps not ever being able to be the best in your sport.” But even extreme sports starts come to a point after an injury where they think enough is enough.
