She said, "I really want to give the best show, and I'm basically on the floor trying my best. I can try to continue, but at some point I might have to stop. I'm extremely sick, and I'm really trying. I'll push as much as I can, but if we have to stop, we might have to if I physically can’t continue. I'm in pain."

Lindsey Vonn almost lost her leg after her gnarly Olympic crash, but the ski great says she may not be done hitting the slopes ... saying she doesn't want her legacy to end on that "horrible last run."

The legendary American alpine ski racer spoke with Vanity Fair for her first interview since the February incident ... where Vonn detailed the insane pain she went through as doctors attempted to treat a severely broken leg, ankle, and other injuries, which required multiple surgeries.

It wasn’t just the physical pain ... the situation weighed on her mentally, too, knowing her career could end on such a brutal fall.
