Vonn, 34, won the bronze in the women’s downhill at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships just last month, making her the first female skier to win medals at six different world championships, according to ESPN.
She had originally planned on retiring in December, but toughed it out for one final race.
"I'm literally tapped out, I can't cry anymore," Vonn said, per ESPN. "I want to cry but it's dry. ... It's not an easy thing to feel your bones hitting together and continue to push through it.
"Of course I'm sore. Even before the crash I was sore. So I'm just sore on top of sore. My neck is killing me," Vonn said. "But at the end of the day no one cares if my neck hurts; they only care if I win. ... I knew that I was capable of pushing through the pain one last time and I did that. ... Every athlete has their own obstacles and I faced mine head on today and I conquered them."
