Lindsey Vonn crashed at the Winter Olympics in February.
The American ski athlete Lindsey Vonn has been nominated for the A squad for the upcoming season.
Vonn is on a list of 17 athletes in the top team that the association published on Instagram. The season begins at the end of October in Sölden.
It is unclear when Vonn will be able to take part in tournaments again. After her fall at the Winter Olympics in February, she announced that nothing would happen before the 2027/28 season.
Surgery is scheduled for November to remove metal from Vonn's leg and replace her ACL. âOnce my cruciate ligament is repaired, it will take another six months,â Vonn said at the time. This would also rule out the start of the World Cup in Switzerland next year.
