Lindsey Vonn<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t interested in discussing her skiing future after suffering a devastating leg injury at the 2026 Winter Olympics<\/a> in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m not ready to discuss my future in skiing,\u201d Vonn, 41, wrote via X<\/a> on Sunday, March 15. \u201cMy focus has been on recovering from my injury and getting back to normal life. I was already retired for 6 years<\/a> and have an amazing life outside of skiing. It was incredible to be #1 in the world<\/a> again at 41 years old and set new records in my sport, but at my age, I\u2019m the only one that will decide my future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The athlete continued, \u201cI don\u2019t need anyone\u2019s permission to do what makes me happy. Maybe that means racing again, maybe that doesn\u2019t. Only time will tell. Please stop telling me what I should or should not do. I\u2019ll let you know when I decide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vonn\u2019s public declaration comes just days after she shared a brutal video of her injured leg<\/a> on Friday, March 13. In the clip shared via the Olympian\u2019s Instagram Story, Vonn could be seen breathing heavily as a physical therapist pushed her injured leg down for just a few seconds. Vonn then grimaced in pain and bit her lip as the therapist began counting during the exercise.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tLindsey Vonn is not asking for any sympathy after undergoing her fourth surgery following her catastrophic 2026 Winter Olympics crash. \u201cSurgery went well today!\u201d Thankfully I will be able to finally go back to the US! Once I\u2019m back I will give you more updates and info about my injury\u2026 But until then, as I [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHad to do this\u2026,\u201d Vonn captioned the video, simultaneously giving fans and followers a glimpse at two separate surgery spots on her leg, covered by large bandages.<\/p>\n

The difficult-to-watch video was followed by a second clip of her physical therapy, showing the athlete happily riding a recovery bike and pedaling smoothly.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I could do this,\u201d Vonn wrote alongside the video, showing that \u2014 in some cases \u2014 pain really is a prerequisite for gain.<\/p>\n

Vonn made her return to the Olympics in Italy in February, despite completely tearing her ACL<\/a> during a World Cup race in Switzerland days earlier on January 30.<\/p>\n
