Lindsey Vonn discloses severity of her injuries while announcing return

In disclosing new details about the severity of her injuries, Lindsey Vonn says she suffered severe nerve damage and that this has been the "hardest recovery" of her career.

Vonn shared details of her injuries on Facebook on Wednesday after announcing earlier that she'd return to the World Cup circuit this week.

In a video on Facebook, Vonn couldn't move her right hand immediately following surgery after her Nov. 10 crash.

"I was very open with all of you regarding the bone fracture in my humerus but what I haven’t mentioned to you is the fact that I also had severe nerve damage," Vonn wrote.
