As she recuperated from a gruesome injury at the Winter Olympics, Lindsay Vonn shared some words of support for United States teammate Chloe Kim, who won the Silver medal in the women’s halfpipe event Thursday in Livigno, Italy.
“You’re such a boss @ChloeKim,” Vonn wrote in a story posted to her Instagram account on Thursday.

Choi Gaon, 17, of South Korea recovered from a fall on her opening run to win Gold in the event. Yet she recovered to record a score of 90.25, putting her into the lead and putting the pressure on Kim.
Kim, 25, fell on her final run and finished with a score of 88.00. Japan’s Ono Mitsuki claimed bronze with 85.00.
No woman had won three straight medals in the Olympic halfpipe event, let alone three straight golds. Kim won the event at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Games.
Vonn, 40, was attempting to win a Gold medal in the women’s downhill event 16 years after she did so at the Vancouver Games in 2010. But a torn ACL and other injuries ultimately proved too much to overcome. She was airlifted to a hospital in Cortina after crashing out last weekend, and underwent three surgeries.
Vonn had not competed at the Olympics since PyeongChang in 2018.
