Now, Lindsey Vonn reveals for the first time the long scar on her leg, the clearest evidence of the pain she has endured.

Vonn suffered a complex tibia due to her downhill crash just seconds into her race at the Milan Cortina Games.

Her appearance came just days after tearing her ACL.

Vonn was then airlifted to a nearby hospital after the accident and had to undergo three surgeries before she could return to the U.S.

The 41-year-old has consistently updated her fans about her condition.

On Wednesday, Vonn posted an update on her Instagram story, taking a selfie after a workout session.

Days after being spotted in a wheelchair at the Los Angeles airport, Vonn showed herself standing as she wrote, “Standing when I’m allowed [laughing emoji]. Never miss my rehab.”

Vonn also showed a leg surgery scar in the process.

She then made a post following the workout, admitting in her caption that she is still not 100 percent but that she’s slowly recovering.

“Not quite me but getting there….” Vonn wrote, along with the hashtag #stepbystep.”

The iconic Winter Olympian stunningly returned to train just four weeks after her horrific leg break.

Then, Vonn was spotted whizzing around on an electric scooter in March.

She is optimistic that her sixth surgery will be her last ahead of a potential return.

Vonn is also set to speak at the 2026 commencement ceremony of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism on May 15.

“ONE JOKE. ONE ROOM FROZEN — THEN TOTAL CHAOS.” King Charles III turned a polished White House state dinner into a moment nobody saw coming after delivering a sharp, unexpected joke that instantly changed the energy in the room. What was meant to be a carefully scripted night of diplomacy suddenly shifted when Charles dropped a line aimed at the White House audience — and the reaction was impossible to ignore. Guests reportedly went from formal applause to full laughter within seconds as the King blended history, tension, and humor with surgical timing.

‘HE WAS PLAYING WITH ADAM’S MIND — AND THAT’S THE DARK SIDE OF FAME.’ Josie Gibson has now entered the explosive I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! bullying row — and her words about David Haye are some of the strongest yet. Defending Adam Thomas, Josie accused David of leaning into the “dark side of fame”, claiming he saw Adam as a threat and deliberately tried to “play with his mind.” Her comments come after Adam’s tearful confession that David admitted: “I just wanted to break you.” Adam says what viewers called banter was actually bullying, and claims David manipulated him so deeply that he started questioning his own reality — even believing ITV had shared private mental health struggles behind his back. Now, with over 1,000 complaints flooding in and more former campmates taking sides, the jungle war is turning into something much bigger than a TV feud. And if more people keep speaking out… the version of David fans thought they knew may not survive what comes next.
