Lindsey Vonn: Titanium Knee & Olympic Comeback at 41

Let’s answer the first one right away: yes, and that person’s name is Lindsey Vonn. For the second, we will still have to wait before deciding on the merits of the desire which pushes the American to tackle the descent of the Milan-Cortina Olympics. But the mere fact of seeing her set off from the starting gate this Sunday at the end of the morning (11:30 a.m.) is a feat in the face of an injury suffered during the last descent before the Olympics, in Crans-Montana, on January 30, which usually sends the vast majority of skiers directly to the operating room.
