Lindsey Vonn's upside-down injury recovery is impressive ... and kind of scary

It's only been two weeks since world-class skier Lindsey Vonn announced that her season was over after suffering three breaks in her left leg. But that's plenty of time for Vonn to plan a road to recovery and start working out -- while hanging upside down from her injured leg.

If we suffered the kind of injury Vonn went through earlier this month, we'd be on the couch eating ice cream until at least the start of the summer. Instead, Vonn's out there looking like the Michael Keaton version of "Batman." You know, the one who creepily wakes up after chilling with his Bat-girlfriend and hooks himself up to an upside-down rack for a light morning workout.

Also, we don't mean to concern-troll Vonn, but that workout is kind of terrifying. Gravity is undefeated in the gym, and one wrong move could bring the gold medalist crashing to the ground. Then again, why are we worried if Vonn is apparently the Batman?

Or Batwoman. Or Bathlete. Or Batperson. Whichever floats your boat. And when she's not busy fighting crime or recovering from injury, Vonn's taking in NBA games and hanging out with Kevin Love:

Maybe Vonn can teach Love a thing or two about what it takes to win a championship while they're palling around. After all, the NBA playoffs are right around the corner.
