The 41-year-old reveals she has 'completely ruptured' her ACL, but will try to compete at the Winter Olympics.
Transcript
00:00Last Friday in Cromantana, in the last World Cup, I completely ruptured my ACL.
00:09I also have bone bruising, which is a common injury when you tear your ACL, plus meniscal
00:16damage, which we're not sure if that was pre-existing or from the crash.
00:23But we have been doing extensive therapy, been consulting with doctors, been in the gym,
00:31and today I went skiing.
00:35And considering how my knee feels, it feels stable, I feel strong, my knee is not swollen,
00:41and with the help of a knee brace, I am confident that I can compete on Sunday.
00:49So this is not obviously what I had hoped for.
00:53I've been working really hard to come into these games in a much different position.
01:00I know what my chances were before the crash, and I know my chances aren't the same as it
01:06stands today, but I know there's still a chance.
01:09And as long as there's a chance, I will try.
