For the first time in more than a quarter-century, Rafael Nadal spent a day going downhill fast.

After 26 years… what an incredible feeling to ski again! pic.twitter.com/1b5vhadUOA
U.S. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn replied to Nadal’s post with an offer.
“We have to ski together when I’m healthy!” Vonn posted.
The 41-year-old Vonn suffered a complex fracture of her tibia racing in the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics and underwent surgery. She recently returned back home to the U.S. where she’s continuing recovery on home soil.
Of course, Nadal is a two-time Olympic gold-medal champion.
The 14-time Roland Garros champion won the Olympic singles gold in the 2008 Beijing Games then captured the gold medal in doubles alongside buddy Marc Lopez, who later coached him, at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
