Lindsey Vonn announced today that she has a serious injury to her right leg, throwing her Olympic future into doubt.
Her history would indicate she will give it a go as she's done her whole career. Her coach told Tom Crann about the drive and commitment she displayed from the start -- qualities that made her the best in the world.
If she is able to compete, her first event would be the alpine super-combined race, which is scheduled for Sunday.
