Lindsey Makes A Comeback

Oopsie!
After five years in retirement, 41-year-old Lindsey Vonn was back, hoping for Olympic gold in Italy. But it was not to be. Instead, she crashed out yesterday after 13 seconds into her publicized downhill run, just nine days after she ruptured the ACL in her left knee. Her right knee was already partially replaced with a titanium plate. Like who didn't see that coming?

Today Vonn's fans are busy applauding her bravery. Others say she usurped a spot on the USA ski team that should have gone to a young hopeful who might actually have won. So much for a comeback....
