Lindsey Vonn back in gym just four weeks after horror crash

Lindsay Vonn has returned to training just four weeks after she was involved in a horror crash at the Winter Olympics.

The American skier, 41, clipped a gate and fell heavily in Cortina in February.

She was airlifted to hospital and underwent multiple surgeries on a complex leg fracture, revealing that her leg could have been amputated if not for the heroics of her doctor.

In an Instagram update on Thursday (5 March), Vonn posted footage of herself lifting weights and wrote: "Definitely some hard times but still thankful… still working hard. The only goal is to get healthy. One day at a time."
