Lindsey Vonn is getting ready to go through a surgical procedure. On her Instagram account, the former Olympic skier revealed that she will undergo knee surgery as her knee requires replacement. This surgery is her most recent procedure. Despite announcing her retirement from competitive sports in 2019, Vonn has undergone several knee treatments.

Accompanied by a snapshot of her knee wrapped in a bandage, Vonn shared on her Instagram Story that she has recently undergone an initial surgical intervention in preparation for a knee replacement. She anticipated to undergo another surgical procedure during the spring. In response to a fan’s inquiry regarding ACL surgery recovery, Vonn uploaded a video where she demonstrated a knee exercise.

To maintain a healthy lifestyle, Lindsey Vonn, aged 38 emphasized the significance of undertaking different physical activities each day, including bending and then straightening the body. The announcement made by Vonn in July stated that she would undergo another knee operation. Since her ligament surgery in 2019, she has been experiencing ongoing difficulties with her knee.

In an Instagram post, she expressed that she has been dealing with physical injuries resulting from her ski racing profession and making an effort to manage the pain. With time, this surgical procedure has the potential to greatly enhance her condition. There is additional work that needs to be done and there will likely be another surgery, although she is optimistic that this will provide some temporary relief.

Lindsey Vonn says that she has a lot of respect for all the men who raced down the Streif

Lindsey Vonn held the record for the most wins in World Cup races during her time as a ski racer, until Mikaela Shiffrin surpassed it in January. Four victories in the overall championships of the World Cup have been secured by Vonn. She occupies the third spot among female skiers, with Shiffrin and Annemarie Moser-Pröll ahead of her in the rankings. Vonn’s excellence as an Olympic athlete became evident when she clinched the top spot and was awarded a gold medal in the Vancouver-based 2010 Olympics.

Following that, she achieved a third-place medal in the same competition, as well as another third-place medal in the Pyeongchang 2018 games. Vonn accomplished a remarkable feat in January. The Steif in Kitzbühel, Austria witnessed her groundbreaking accomplishment as the first woman to ski down its slopes successfully. Vonn believes that only those who ski down the Streif can truly claim to be downhill skiers.

Considered the toughest skiing track globally, the Streif is also hailed as the finest. Nobody believed that she could accomplish it. Incredibly, she has finally been able to begin her journey here and pursue her lifelong dream, especially considering all the previous injuries I’ve endured.

The men who raced down the Streif have always been worthy of Vonn admiration, and now Vonn’s respect for them has grown even stronger. Skiing down the mountain is completely different from skiing to win. She now comprehends the true meaning and importance of that. Through this experience, Vonn has come to understand the true extent of these men’s abilities.
