Olympic gold medalist and American ski star Lindsey Vonn continued to defy the odds Friday when she completed her first training session in women’s alpine downhill, just a week after completely tearing her ACL during a World Cup race.

Vonn, wearing bib No. 10 and a knee brace on her left knee, completed her race on a day when fog delayed skiers waiting their turn at the Tofane Alpine Ski Center in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The 41-year-old ski champion will make her return to the Winter Olympics on Sunday in the women’s downhill.

His official training run finished in 1:40.33.
