Wearing bib #1, Lindsey Vonn was preparing to ski what amounted to a training run on an abbreviated downhill course in the women’s Alpine combined today. But minutes before her start, Vonn’s body decided to remind her what she was up against.
“Two or three minutes before in the starting gate, my rib kind of popped out,” Vonn told NBC Sports’ Andrea Joyce after her run. “I definitely did not push hard out of the start, and the upper part [of the course] was kind of weird.
“In general, I think the bottom was really good and I’m glad I was able to get back out there today.
