Lindsey Vonn said she will retire on her own terms, and not those of anyone else.

The 41-year-old, who is recovering from a serious downhill crash at the Milan Cortina Olympics, is still deciding her next steps, something she made clear in a social media post on Sunday.

“No, I’m not ready to discuss my future in skiing,” Vonn wrote. “It was incredible to be #1 in the world again at 41 years old and set new records in my sport, but at my age, I’m the only one that will decide my future.

“I don’t need anyone’s permission to do what makes me happy. Maybe that means racing again, maybe that doesn’t. Only time will tell. Please stop telling me what I should or should not do. I’ll let you know when I decide.”

One user replied to Vonn by writing: “The ego is so strong with this one. Take your medicine Lindsey. You nearly lost your leg. Put your feet up and be done.”

Vonn replied: “Think you’re mistaking my ego for joy. I’ve said it my whole life; I love skiing. I’ll put my feet up when I’m good and ready thank you.”

Vonn suffered a complex tibia fracture in her left leg when she crashed just 13 seconds into her Olympic downhill run in February. She recently said she nearly lost her leg after the trauma from the crash led to compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome involves excessive pressure building up inside a muscle, either from bleeding or swelling. High pressure restricts blood flow and can lead to permanent injury if not treated quickly.

Since her return from Italy, Vonn has been posting videos showing her lifting weights and riding a stationary bike.

“I’m biking!!” Vonn wrote. “Starting with 5 minutes … making progress one day at a time.”

Vonn made a comeback last season after nearly six years away from racing, and knee replacement surgery. Vonn won two downhill races this season and earned a podium spot in three others. She was among the favorites leading into the Olympic downhill, an event she won at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

“My focus has been on recovering from my injury and getting back to normal life,” Vonn said in the social media post on Sunday. “I was already retired for 6 years and have an amazing life outside of skiing.”
