Vonn didnât just show up, she stunned the world.
Her campaign, however, took a terrifying turn when she suffered a horror crash on the slopes, a moment that had fans holding their breath.
Despite the tumble, Vonn said the memories will live with her forever and that she disagreed with those who said she should have given her spot to someone else.
Writing from a hospital bed, the 41-year-old reflected on the whirlwind of the season and the Games themselves, posting a heartfelt message on social media.
She said, âIt wasnât all for nothing⌠it was everything.
âAnd it wasnât a dream⌠although sitting in this hospital bed it seems far away now⌠But I did it.
âI came back. I won. I showed up and did what most thought was impossible at my age with a partial knee replacement.
âThese memories Iâll have forever and Iâm grateful for every one of them. Every moment was amazing. Every moment was worth it.â
Vonn didnât shy away from addressing the critics either.
She added, âOne thing that stung was when people said I was selfish and should give my Olympic spot to someone else.
âSo⌠I just wanted to recap my season for all the haters out there that donât understand what it means to earn your spot, and on a more positive note, to just reflectâŚâ
Her words have been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow athletes alike, praising Vonn for her resilience, courage, and determination.
