Lindsey Vonn says she's finally reached a milestone she wasn't sure would ever come, but she knows the journey is far from over.
The Olympic skiing legend shared a new video on Wednesday, July 8, documenting her recovery, showing herself powering through strength exercises in the gym as she continues rehabilitating the devastating leg injury she suffered during the 2026 Winter Olympics.
"I knew one day I’d get here, just didn’t know how long it would take me…" Vonn wrote in the Instagram caption. "It took 5 months, but I’m finally here! Still a very long road ahead but my strength is coming back ?? (maybe more mentally than physically still but that’s not a bad thing ;)."
The clip captures Vonn performing a series of demanding rehabilitation exercises, including weighted squats and strength training as she gradually rebuilds the leg she nearly lost. And fans were sure to chime in to cheer the athlete along.
“Thank you for sharing your journey ❤️. You’ve been a real source of inspiration and a role model for me during this difficult time. ,” said one fan who was going through an injury of their own.

“Never doubted you'd come back. You are a great inspiration to others,” said another.
A third wrote, “Love my Lindsey, she s my mental strength hero.”
Vonn's latest update was quite the shift from the emotional place she found herself in just months ago. Following her horrific crash during the women's downhill event at the 2026 Winter Olympics on February 8, the 41-year-old got honest about the psychological toll of her recovery.
"My physical battle began the second I got hurt but the mental battle started today," she wrote in a post on X. "It hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s a battle I’m used to because I’ve done it so many times. I have always learned from every injury. Each one has made me a better and stronger person in different ways…but the battle of the mind can be dark and hard and unrelenting."
Still, even then, Vonn made it clear she wasn't giving up. "Someone I care about said I am a 'master at the psychological game of life,'" she wrote. "I don’t know if that’s true….I do know hard days are coming but I will find a way back to the top of the mountain of life."
The injury itself was even more severe than many fans realized. Vonn later revealed she underwent five surgeries after sustaining a complex tibia fracture, and credited orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tom Hackett with saving her leg from amputation.
