Lindsey Vonn gives health update as she undergoes ninth surgery following brutal Olympic crash

Lindsey Vonn says she is continuing to recover from injuries sustained in a crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics, nearly ten months ago. She has undergone a ninth operation to remove plates and screws from her left leg, which had prevented surgeons from repairing her ACL.

Vonn said her bones had healed, allowing doctors to proceed with the ACL repair, and later reported that the surgery went well. She had injured the ligament shortly before the Games, then crashed during the women’s downhill event; she expects recovery after ACL surgery to take another six to nine months.
