What do you think about Lindsey Vonn's plans to ski tomorrow?

[DURHAM D]

I won't be watching.

My problem is that I have had one knee replaced (old ski injury) and need to have the other replaced.

1. Her body, her choice. n/t

10. I understand, but I would

hate to see her crippled for life.

[flvegan]

13. Me too, but I trust a professional athlete to know

what they can/can't or should/shouldn't do over what I think.

2. I don't believe she'll be 100%, but I can understand why she wants to compete

3. I send good wishes that she will not have another accident that permanently disables her. n/t

[DURHAM D]

4. Amen

5. I hope she does well and gets a metal.

[Celerity]

9. Medal.

6. I'll be

rooting for her.

7. She knows her body better than anyone else. Who are we to have an opinion?

That said, I will be rooting for her.

I hope she lets out all the stops and goes for it. It's her last Olympics, why not?

8. Hopefully she does well

11. I think shes anazing and I wish well and hope she remains safe.

12. The brace she'll be using may prevent her from hyperextending her knee and losing her leg, but...

With a functionally absent ACL, further damage to the meniscus and cartilage are a given with the stresses that will occur on that joint.

She must be planning on retiring and getting a total knee replacement after she finishes these Olympic games.
