Lindsey Vonn

Vonn posting an update on Instagram that included photos of her giving a thumbs up sign in her hospital bed with a metal frame attached to her leg.

Vonn writing, quote, I'm making progress and while it is slow, I know I'll be okay, end quote.

Go ahead.

It's a privilege to represent your country, and the Olympics are the largest stage in the world, the largest sporting event in the world.

To walk out into the opening ceremonies with your fellow teammates is such an honor, and I always feel incredibly lucky that I'm even able to compete at that level.

So I definitely don't take it for granted, and I'm going to enjoy my last Olympics as much as I possibly can.

One week since she ruptured the ACL in her left knee in a skiing crash.

Had also suffered meniscal damage and bone bruising.

Vaughn, who retired from skiing in 2019 and then unretired late in 2024, is competing now with a partial titanium implant in her right knee, opposed to the left knee she injured last week in a World Cup race.

I'm not letting this slip through my fingers.

I'm going to do it.

End of story.

So I'm not letting myself go down that path.

I'm not crying.

My head is high.

I'm standing tall.

And I'm going to do my best.

And whatever the result is, that's what it is.

But

I can never say I didn't try.
