Navratilova apoya a Vonn en medio de las especulaciones sobre su retirada tras el accidente olímpico

La leyenda del tenis Martina Navratilova ha apoyado públicamente a la esquiadora Lindsey Vonn frente a las críticas que instan a su retirada tras su grave lesión olímpica, subrayando que Vonn decidirá su futuro en sus propios términos.

Tras su dramática caída en el descenso femenino de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de Milán-Cortina 2026 -detallada en reportajes anteriores-, Lindsey Vonn, de 41 años, se enfrentó a crecientes especulaciones sobre la posibilidad de poner fin a su carrera tras sufrir una compleja fractura de la tibia izquierda que requirió cinco intervenciones quirúrgicas.

Vonn rechazó con firmeza las peticiones de retirada, incluso por parte de aficionados y de su padre, Alan Kildow. En respuesta al comentario de un aficionado, "El ego es muy fuerte con esta. Tómate tu medicina, Lindsey. Casi pierdes la pierna. Levanta los pies y listo", Vonn escribió: "¿Quién dijo que me iba a retirar?" y "Creo que estás confundiendo mi ego con alegría. Lo he dicho toda mi vida: me encanta esquiar. Pondré los pies en alto cuando esté bien y lista, gracias". Su padre declaró: "Tiene 41 años y éste es el final de su carrera. No habrá más carreras de esquí para Lindsey Vonn, mientras yo tenga algo que decir al respecto".

El 16 de marzo de 2026, Martina Navratilova compartió un artículo de HuffPost sobre el intercambio, subtitulándolo: "Lindsey lo dejará en sus propios términos. Mientras tanto que se mejore, y entonces ella verá 🙂 ¡¡¡Vamos Campeona!!!". Este gesto subraya su respeto mutuo. Vonn había celebrado anteriormente la recuperación de Navratilova de un cáncer de garganta y cuello diagnosticado en 2022, publicando en Wimbledon 2023: "aún más feliz de verla" "sana y sonriente". Ambas atletas ejemplifican la capacidad de recuperación tras superar importantes contratiempos de salud.
