Bruised, hurt but Vonn is set for last race
|Are, Sweden (CNN)Lindsey Vonn waved and blew kisses to an appreciative crowd Friday after completing the downhill run of the Alpine combined at skiing’s World Championships, savoring every moment as her glorious career nears an end.
The final race for the greatest female skier in history will be the downhill in Sweden Sunday.
Vonn used Friday’s downhill — the combined also features a slalom run — as a last training session, but perhaps it served as a confidence booster, too, after the 34-year-old crashed in her opening race at the World Championships, the super-G, in Are Tuesday.
