  "account": "Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn is considering a potential return to alpine skiing, despite undergoing eight surgeries and spending two months in a wheelchair following a severe crash during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. The crash left her with a broken leg and prompted her to be airlifted out of the event. Vonn, who has already faced 14 different injuries throughout her career, is now the oldest member of the U.S. alpine skiing team. She acknowledges that the physical toll of her injuries has made the recovery process more challenging, but remains driven by her passion for the sport. Despite concerns from her father about her career ending, Vonn is not ruling out a comeback, stating there is still a \"small chance\" that she may try one more time.",
