New York – Three-time Olympic medalist Lindsey Vonn is unsure if she will return to competitive ski racing, the 41-year-old said on Wednesday, adding that she is still processing the aftermath of a scary crash at the Milano Cortina Olympics.

The decorated American alpine skier suffered a complex tibia fracture in ​a crash during an Olympic downhill race on Feb. 8 in Italy that saw her airlifted off the mountain.

The ‌injury nearly ‌resulted in her left leg being amputated and came nine days after Vonn tore her ​anterior cruciate ligament in a World Cup crash.
