Lindsey Vonn’s ongoing recovery includes some much-needed time by the pool.
“June is gassed, no glazing!” the Olympian, 41, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 21, alongside a slideshow of how she’s spending her summer.
The first pic showed Vonn rocking a black bikini as she soaked up the sun on a warm afternoon. Her blonde hair was down, cascading in natural waves.
Vonn included additional moments where she was out with Laura Dern, Gayle King and other loved ones. The skier also attended a Black Eyes Peas concert.
In addition to her fun adventures, Vonn shared several snaps in the gym. In one clip, Vonn can be seen doing pull ups and posing alongside exercise equipment.
Earlier this year, Vonn suffered multiple leg injuries. Back in January, she tore her ACL during a World Cup race in Switzerland. Despite the pain, Vonn pushed through to make it to the Olympics, which began the following month. While competing in Milan and Cortina, Vonn crashed during the downhill event and needed to be airlifted to the hospital.
Vonn sustained a complex tibia fracture and underwent emergency surgery. The athlete later revealed that she nearly had her leg amputated due to the severe trauma caused by the crash.
“Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg,” she explained in a March social media video. “He saved my leg from being amputated. He did what’s called a fasciotomy, where he cut open both sides of my leg and kind of filleted it open so to speak, let it breathe, and he saved me.”
Following the surgeries, Vonn’s top priority has been her recovery. She started hitting the gym again six weeks after the crash.
“First set of pull ups post surgery… slowly getting there,” Vonn captioned a video showing off her fitness routine.
As Vonn continued to put in the physical work, she opened up about the difficulties in her recovery process.
Lindsey Vonn showed off her battle scars after undergoing multiple surgeries as a result of her dramatic crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics. “And just like that….All my muscles are gone 😔,” Vonn, 41, shared via her Instagram Story on Sunday, March 1, alongside a photo of her legs resting on an exercise ball.

“All these things, it took time,” she said in an April interview with The Athletic. “There were so many layers to it. That made it challenging. And then of course, when you have such slow progress, that inevitably becomes more mentally challenging as well.”
Last month, Vonn attended the Met Gala and ditched her crutches for the first time. Before arriving at the event, Vonn shared how much it meant for her to reach her recovery goal.
“I’ve been in such a different world, especially since my crash,” she told Vogue ahead of the Met Gala. “This is kind of my coming-out party — I get to be around people, wearing a dress that’s beautiful and feminine, and put my crutches down for the first time.”
