After Lindsey's crash in November, the gold medalist explained to Today, "I don't think I was pushing myself too hard. It just was unfortunately a fluke accident. That's the risk you take when you're going 80-90 miles an hour down a mountain." She continued by adding, "That's just part of the job, but I've picked myself back up, and I'm trying as hard as I can to keep going. I'm working as hard as I can."
