Lindsey Vonn will race in Friday's Olympic slalom, in spite of her broken right pinkie, the USA Ski Team said Thursday. Team spokesman Doug Haney wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Thursday that Lindsay Vonn will vie in the final women's Alpine event of the Vancouver Games.
"She's had way worse than that [injury]. She will be fine," USA team coach Jim Tracy told Reuters on Wednesday.
Also on the USA roster are Sarah Schleper of Vail, Colorado; Hailey Duke of Boise, Idaho; and Megan McJames of Park City, Utah. Julia Mancuso previously opted out of the slalom.
Lindsay Vonn, who lives and trains in Vail, injured her finger in a crash during the first run of the giant slalom Wednesday, and the USA Olympic Committee said afterward that day she hadn't decided whether to race the slalom. Lindsay Vonn won gold in downhill also bronze in super-G at these Olympics.
