Lindsey Vonn gives a good health update after a shocking crash at the Olympics that broke her tibia. Lindsey Vonn, the famous skier, has given an encouraging update on her recovery after a bad crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Lindsey Vonn broke her left leg’s tibia in a complicated way just 13 seconds into the women’s downhill event on February 8 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. She was flown to a hospital in Treviso for surgery to stabilize the fracture, and she is now stable and being cared for by American and Italian doctors. This happened just a few days after she tore her ACL in a crash at the World Cup in Switzerland on January 30. Despite this, she pushed through rehab to compete in her fifth and possibly last Olympics.
Vonn posted on Instagram that she will need “multiple surgeries” for her tibia fracture and ongoing knee problems, including a partial right knee replacement. However, she is still strong. Experts say that tibial fractures usually take months to heal, but she could fully recover if there are no complications. However, her Olympic campaign has come to an end. Vonn, who was 41 and making a comeback after a five-year break, thought back on her famous career, which included three Olympic medals and dominating World Cup performances.
