Lindsey Vonn Injury, 3rd Surgery Update

Lindsey Vonn is going for the gold when it comes to her healing. 

Days after the alpine skiing star’s 2026 Olympics ended abruptly due to a crash during her downhill final run—leaving her with a broken left tibia—she shared an update from the hospital. 

“I had my 3rd surgery today and it was successful,” Lindsey wrote in a Feb. 11 Instagram post, alongside photos of herself in a hospital bed. “Success today has a completely different meaning than it did a few days ago. I’m making progress and while it is slow, I know I’ll be ok.”

The 41-year-old went on to thank the “incredible medical staff, friends, family, who have been by my side and the beautiful outpouring of love and support from people around the world.”

And while her Milano Cortina Olympics journey didn’t end how she’d hoped, she emphasized her congratulations to her fellow Team USA athletes, “who are out there inspiring me and giving me something to cheer for.”
