The chief of the U.S. Ski Team says Lindsey Vonn is preparing to fly home to the United States a week after her terrifying head-over-heels crash in the Olympic downhill. Sophie Goldschmidt told The Associated Press the team’s medical staff has been coordinating Vonn’s recovery since the crash and subsequent helicopter evacuation and would try to accompany her home. Vonn has had multiple surgeries in Italy to repair a complex tibia fracture in her left leg. Goldschmidt says they have a great team helping her and she’ll go back to the U.S. for further surgery.
