Lindsey Vonn showed off the remarkable progress she’s made since breaking her leg in a shocking crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Vonn, 41, shared a video via Instagram on Thursday, March 5, showing the tough rehab process she’s started undergoing after returning home to the United States. 

“Definitely some hard times but still thankful… still working hard,” she captioned the post. “The only goal is to get healthy. One day at a time. #icandothis.”

In the video, Vonn can be seen performing a series of exercises with her surgically-repaired left leg, which is still sporting bandages. 

When she attempts to stand on her own, Vonn grimaces through some obvious pain. 

Vonn finally returned home on Sunday, March 1, after undergoing multiple surgeries and beginning her arduous rehab process in Italy. The alpine skier broke her leg and was airlifted off the course after crashing on February 8. 

“I’m focused now on therapy and getting healthy,” Vonn shared via Instagram on Sunday. “It’s going to be a hard and painful journey but I am putting all of my energy into it, like I always do. 

She added, ”I’m going to take some time for myself. I’ll give you updates when I can but right now my focus is on taking care of myself. As always, thank you for the love and support. .”

While happy to be back on American soil, Vonn admitted it was bittersweet after the loss of her beloved dog, Leo, who died the day after her crash at the Olympics. 

“Feels good to sleep in my own bed… but wheeling through the front door without Leo greeting me like always was a very hard reality,” she added. “A reality I had to face. Along with many other hard realities that lay in front of me as I move forward….”

Throughout her recovery process, Vonn has shone a light on her team of doctors and physicians who have been by her side before and after the Olympics. In particular, she thanked Dr. Tom Hackett for saving her leg from being amputated. 

“From Dr. Tom Hackett saving my leg, Dr. Roche building my partial knee replacement, fixing torn ligaments, therapy and rehab… my doctors and medical team are the reason why I was able to do what I did this year and throughout my whole career,” she wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 26. “You see the end result, when at 41 I climbed my way back to number 1 in the world. But you don’t see all the hours my medical team put in with me to build me back. Even at the Olympics with a torn ACL, Lindsay Winninger and Lorenzo Gonzalez worked around the clock to get my knee ready to race again.”

Vonn added, “It literally takes a village and I am so grateful for every single one of them!”
