Colorado, USA. US Ski Team spokesman Tom Kelly told press that Vonn is being evaluated in nearby Vail, Colorado, by the same doctor who repaired her right knee in February.
“We expect to have clarity on the situation in the next 24 hours,” Reuters reported. Kelly further said he is not sure whether Vonn hurt her surgically repaired right knee. “We have no reason to believe it’s anything significant right now,” Kelly said.
Lindsey Vonn was beginning downhill training for next week’s World Cup races scheduled at Beaver Creek.
The 29-year-old American tore ligaments in her right knee last February in a crash racing super-G at the world alpine championships in Schladming, Austria.
The women’s downhill, super-G and giant slalom are being contested at Beaver Creek from November 29-December 1.
Four-time overall World Cup champion Vonn, was wearing a protective knee brace as she rounds back into shape. With her knee feeling so good – she was months ahead of schedule. She was aiming for a return to top form in time for the February 7-23 Sochi Olympics.
She was at Sunday’s National Football League game in Denver between the Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs along with her boyfriend Tiger Woods. Early this year, they made it public that they are dating. Both Vonn and Woods, who is a 14-time major golf champion, also posted photographs of themselves on their Facebook pages.
