“I’m coming into these Olympics a lot more unsure than I was, um, a few weeks ago,” Lindsey confessed in an interview that aired on TODAY this morning.
Lindsey told NBC’s Matt Lauer that she got hurt in slalom training during pre-Olympic workouts in Austria and hasn’t skied since. Despite the injury, the two-time World Cup champion Sports Illustrated calls “America’s Best Woman Skier Ever” still intends to compete in the Olympics.
