Vonn Recovering from Ninth Surgery After Olympic Crash

American downhill great Lindsey Vonn has undergone a ninth operation on the left leg she shattered in a horrific crash at the Winter Olympics in Cortina in February. The 42-year-old posted a message before surgery saying she hoped it would be the last operation she required. Vonn made it to her fifth Olympics despite an ACL injury the week before but crashed 13 seconds into her run, suffering a compound fracture and tibial plateau fracture.
