I'm glad Lindsey Vonn is back, but I honestly have no idea what's going to happen.
Yes, it could work out, and I hope it does, but the fact is that she has a terrible injury history – broken arm, broken leg, concussion, torn knee ligament, partial knee replacement. Surgery, and not even being able to name all of them – that's what bothers me.
But I hope she proves me wrong about my blogging approach.
