Unlike Lara Gut-Behrami, who preferred to end her career after an injury because she felt that the sacrifices to come back were not worth it, Lindsey Vonn is not yet done with skiing. The American, seriously injured during the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina, is also on the United States team for this 2026-2027 season.
However, the return to the snow of the “speed queen” is not immediately planned. She must indeed undergo a new operation, as she herself announced on her Instagram account.
“I’m working hard and trying to enjoy the moments I can… There are now less than two weeks until my surgery. I’m not going to lie, the countdown is a little difficult to manage mentally, but Chance helps me stay in the present moment,” she wrote to accompany a carousel of photos and videos of herself with her dog, with tennis legend André Agassi and at the gym.
Already several operations
Since her terrible fall during the downhill at the last Olympics, which almost left her leg amputated, Lindsey Vonn has already undergone numerous operations. She also experienced more joyful moments. In September, she formalized her romantic relationship with French skier Matthieu Bailet, with whom she had spent a wonderful summer vacation.
At 42, Lindsey Vonn, winner of 84 World Cup races and 2010 Olympic downhill champion, is doing everything she can to relive the thrill of a race on the White Circus.
