Lindsey Vonn is home — or at least on home soil.
After a week in an Italian hospital and four surgeries on her fractured left leg, the American Alpine skiing star posted on social media Monday that she has made it back across the Atlantic.
“Haven’t stood on my feet in over a week…been immobile in a hospital bed since my race,” she wrote in a post on X.
“And although I’m not yet able to stand, being back on home soil feels amazing. Huge thank you to everyone in Italy for taking care of me.”
Vonn, 41, fell 13 seconds into her downhill run on Feb. 8 at the Winter Olympics, a race she attempted despite rupturing her left anterior cruciate ligament nine days before.
She had come out of retirement in 2024 to attempt a comeback after having a successful partial right knee replacement surgery.
