Ski Legend's willingness to extend his active duty, who was diagnosed with two serious injuries and a leg amputation crisis, was still unbroken. Lindsey Vonn (42), who suffered a tragic crash at the Winter Olympics, expressed her bold determination with the news of rehabilitation.
The US media 'Today' highlighted on the 8th (Korea Standard Time), saying, "Bon is once again open to the possibility of returning to active duty after the tragic accident at the Olympics in February."
Vaughan told the outlet: "I didn't have the last race. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye properly," he said, expressing his desire to continue his career.
Vonn, who is considered the best player in ski history, faced her biggest career crisis in a shocking accident in February. He fell during the downhill race at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina D'Ampezzo, suffering fatal injuries including tibia fractures and compartment syndrome. It happened just nine days after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture during the World Cup match.
The condition was serious. According to France's L'Equipe, a surgeon has even diagnosed that Bon's leg may have to be amputated. The accident was even more painful because Bon already retired in 2019 due to frequent injuries and returned in 2024.
However, Bon's will was not broken. "Skiing is something I really love," he said. I've had so much fun this season. "I don't want to finish the last race without completing it," he said. "My family will oppose it, but I'm seriously considering returning once again."
According to Today, Bonn is currently repeating his rehabilitation schedule every day, including two hours of physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and intensive weight training. "I'm working hard on rehabilitation by repeating the same routine every day," Bon said, expressing his determination to return.
There is also a strong sense of dissuasion around the area. Vaughan's father, Alan Kildo, said shortly after the Olympics, "Vaughan is 42 years old now. As far as my authority is concerned, Bonn's skiing life is over here," he said. But Vaughan said, "The only way to get me moving is to say no. My father's remarks may rather be a starting point for stimulating my will to return," he said.
Vonn was also reluctant to remember her career only as an accident scene. Vaughan said: "I did amazing things that no one did in the return season and I was really proud. I don't want all those achievements to be washed away by one accident, he said. "I won't let the accident define my career."
Although the worst of leg amputation has been avoided, it is still not easy to walk normally. Nevertheless, Bonn plans not to stop challenging himself to return to active duty, saying, "I would be happy if I could run in the race again."
