Overview
- Lindsey Vonn posted a gym photo on Instagram that shows her standing without crutches, writing that she is on the way back and tagging it #stepbystep.
- She told the Associated Press, reported by Stern, that nothing could happen before the 2027–28 season because she still needs another operation and months of recovery after that.
- Doctors plan to remove metal from her leg and replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and she estimated at least six more months of rehab after the knee repair.
- Her crash in the Milano Cortina Olympic downhill caused a complex tibia fracture and led to an acute compartment syndrome that cut off blood flow until an emergency surgery saved her leg.
- BILD notes she remains mostly on crutches and was recently pushed in an airport transport wheelchair, and she has said she will ski again even as a World Cup return stays undecided.
