Lindsey Vonn suffered a severely fractured humerus bone in her right arm in a training crash in Copper Mountain, Colo., and had surgery on Thursday.
“While I am beyond frustrated by this latest setback, at least my knees are ok and I will return to the slopes as soon as possible,” was posted on Vonn’s social media. It’s unknown how long Vonn expects to be out.
This adds to Vonn’s already extensive injury history.
The 2010 Olympic downhill champion was expected to make her 2016-17 World Cup season debut either in two weeks in a giant slalom in Killington, Vt.
