PHOTOS! Lindsey Vonn got good news prompting a hunt for hot pics by fans.

Lindsey Vonn, pics below, found out the women’s Olympic downhill training session has been canceled for now. Her husband Thomas Vonn called the news “fantastic” since it gives Vonn more resting time for her injury, which he also said is improving.

Vonn’s injury of a bruised right shin looked serious earlier this week. Now there is hope.

Thomas says Lindsey “looked solid.” She herself said on Twitter that she is using “some [skin numbing] creams” and took “a bunch” of painkillers.

But Wednesday morning, Vonn told Today Show’s Matt Lauer that the injury update is currently not good, a serious left leg bruise leaving the Olympic gold contender almost unable to walk.

Vonn’s injury was one week after the World Cup, an injury Lindsey described today as “excruciatingly painful”

MATT LAUER: Which shin?

LINDSEY VONN: My right shin. And I didn’t. I didn’t know what to do. I mean, it was, I couldn’t walk, I, the first day you know, I was totally unsure of what we were going to do and we were planning on leaving to go home the next day and so we, we changed all of our plans. We stayed over in Europe an extra four days to do therapy with the Red Bull team and um, we, I was freaking out. I thought that a few days before the Olympics, you know, everything is coming, come crashing down.

MATT LAUER: And right now how much pain are you in?

LINDSEY VONN: I actually can walk normally now without pain but I tried putting on my boot a few times and it’s very painful.

MATT LAUER: Is it a bruise? What’s it been diagnosed as?

LINDSEY VONN: yeah, it’s essentially a deep muscle bruise so I have a contusion so the muscle is bleeding and it’s really deep inside the muscle so I talked to my doctor, Dr. Sterit (sp) today and he said that it could take a couple of weeks before it’s completely healed.
