00:00I also got a lot of phone calls. Wayne Gretzky called me. Kept texting me, hey it's 99. I'm like
00:05who's 99? No, it's Wayne Gretzky, the great one.
00:10Hey Vanity Fair, it's Lindsey Vonn and I'm gonna go through my phone and share with you some messages I
00:15got after my Olympic crash.
00:18Pretty much every athlete I've met along the way messaged me. The one that Ronaldo wrote was pretty cool.
00:25Champions are defined by the moments they win and the moments they refuse to give up. Keep fighting, legends always
00:31rise.
00:32This message came in to me, it took a long time to get to me because it was actually a
00:36letter, but it was from Prince William.
00:38The way you wrote about stepping into the starting gate with courage and no regrets says so much about your
00:43resilience and it's one of the many reasons why you have been an inspiration to so many people throughout your
00:48illustrious career.
00:49I hope your recovery is as smooth and quick as possible in the month ahead.
00:53I didn't expect that Prince William is watching me, let alone, you know, took the time to write me a
01:00letter.
01:00It means a lot and I offered to ski with him and his family if they ever want to. Maybe
01:05in a while, but at some point.
01:07Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's such an amazing guy. When I originally retired in 2019, he called me the female Terminator.
01:14He had quite a lengthy Instagram post that was pretty awesome. This is from a massage therapist I work with.
01:22When you say you're in extreme pain, I know it must be on a level most of us can't even
01:26begin to comprehend.
01:27Even this pain, this intensity of emotion, it is being alchemized into light, preparing you for what comes next.
01:35If the weight ever feels unbearable, pause and remember you are profoundly loved, not only here on Earth, but beyond
01:42it as well.
01:43I definitely lean on these messages to get me through the tough days.
01:48My life changed from one extreme to the other in 13 seconds.
01:52I went from being in the best shape of my life, you know, with great chances of winning an Olympic
01:56medal to, you know, in the hospital bed, in a wheelchair.
02:00My support system was everything and I feel so lucky to have so many people who really cared about me.
02:10Do you love the 2021 battery life that I feel so hard?
