Lindsey Vonn hopes to return to racing in January after severely fracturing the humerus bone in her right arm in a Nov. 10 training crash that was “by far the most painful injury” of her career.
In a recent interview with NBC’s Steve Porino, Vonn said doctors at first gave her a conservative estimate of 10 to 12 weeks to return.
Then, after strong early progress following surgery, her doctor said it could be more like eight weeks until she’s racing.
“I normally heal pretty well, but you never know, so I’m just kind of hoping for some time in January,” Vonn said.
