Lindsey Vonn's Knee On Mend



THE CANADIAN PRESS

COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. – Her right knee finally free of pain, Lindsey Vonn is actually considering moving up her return to racing.
In pain because of a bulging disk in his back, Bode Miller is simply trying to ski through it.

Vonn will be chasing history this season. She's three wins from matching the World Cup record of 62 race victories by skiing great Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria. Of her 59 career World Cup race victories, 14 have come at Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies.

On a sunny morning, Vonn squeezed in about six training runs. Nothing too aggressive, just some easy turns to test out some of her equipment.
"I'd say I'm 85 per cent (back)," she said. "I feel like I need a little bit more training, more repetition. Otherwise, the technique and stuff is all there. Just need to get the tactics down, get some more reps. I'll be in good shape after a couple more training sessions."

Her next step is picking up the tempo. She's only gone all-out a few times, and only in small sections.
"I'm a little more tentative still on the more difficult terrain," said Vonn, who will wear a knee brace this season. "That just comes with time. With more training and more confidence, I'll be good."
