Olympic downhill champion Lindsey Vonn remains in survival mode following a devastating crash at the Cortina Games, where she fractured her tibia nine days after rupturing ligaments in her left knee. The 38-year-old skier, who won two world titles in 2009, faces at least 18 months of recovery after requiring surgery to remove metal hardware and repair her ACL. "I'm still in survival mode," she admitted, emphasizing emotional turmoil over rushing a decision about her future. "I don't want to make a mistake by acting too hastily."
