Lindsey Vonn hasn’t said what’s next for her professionally, but she’s continuing to work her way back into shape after suffering a devastating injury at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Vonn, 41, shared a video of her rehab via Instagram on Sunday, September 13, in which she was hard at work in the gym, lifting weights and getting her cardio in.
“Feel like I’ve been running around all over the place lately… but I always try to keep a good balance of work and living my [life] to the fullest,” she wrote in the caption. “One thing I won’t skip on is my training though. Worked very hard to get here and will keep working hard to keep getting better and stronger. #onestepatatime👣.”
Vonn sported a noticeable scar running down the lower half of her left leg, one of the remnants from the complex tibia fracture she suffered in Italy and the subsequent complications that nearly led to her losing her left leg.
The video of her workout came two weeks after Vonn appeared at the US Open in New York, where she gave TNT Sports an update on her progress.
“I still have another surgery, so I’m trying to get as strong as possible,” she said. “And once I get my ACL, then I’ll have another long road ahead of me. But for now, I feel great, and I’m very thankful for that.”
She continued, “I’m hoping that I can have the [ACL] surgery in November, but it’ll be in the winter sometime, and then it’ll be another nine months until I’m fully recovered from that, so I can’t really look beyond that. I don’t really know what the future holds, but like I said, I’m just thankful for where I am right now.”
Vonn was up and walking at the US Open after using a wheelchair and crutches in the early stages of her rehab.
In April, she opened up to The Athletic about her rigorous rehab schedule.
“It’s a lot of rehab. Wake up at 7:30, breakfast at 8, 9 to 11 is rehab at my house,” she said. “I have a little break, eat some food. Go to a hyperbaric chamber. Do about two hours with decompression in the hyperbaric, and then I come back and have a little break. And then usually work out from, like, 5 to 6:30, little break, shower, dinner.”
