U.S. SKI and Snowboard officials have provided a major update on the health of legendary alpine skier Lindsey Vonn.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Vonn, 41, broke her left leg in a horrific crash during the downhill event at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Feb. 8.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Her crash early on in the run left fans and commentators devastated after what she fought through to get there.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vonn was airlifted off the Cortina slopes and briefly taken to a local clinic before being transferred to the Ca\u2019 Foncello hospital in Treviso.<\/p>\n

It was there where she had surgery on her left leg fracture on Sunday according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

\"Lindsey<\/p>\n

She then underwent a second operation to prevent problems linked to swelling and blood flow afterwards.<\/p>\n

Anouk Patty, chief of sport for U.S. Ski and Snowboard, released a statement giving an update on Vonn\u2019s status.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cShe\u2019ll be OK, but it\u2019s going to be a bit of a process.<\/p>\n

\"Lindsey<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sport\u2019s brutal and people need to remember when they\u2019re watching (that) these athletes are throwing themselves down a mountain and going really, really fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ca\u2019Foncello hospital also provided a statement on Vonn\u2019s health after the surgery.<\/p>\n

They said Vonn was being \u201ctreated by a multidisciplinary team\u201d and \u201cunderwent an orthopedic operation to stabilize a fracture reported in her left leg.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been a tough few weeks for the Team USA legend after she ruptured her left ACL a week before the games began.<\/p>\n

\"Lindsey<\/p>\n

Despite such a devastating injury, it didn\u2019t seem to hamper Vonn in any practice runs she did whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Her love for ski racing pushed her out of retirement after a partial knee replacement and she wasn\u2019t going to let the ACL tear stop her either.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the two-time Olympic gold medallist, her final return to the sport she loves is all but over after her latest crash.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The president of International Ski Federation Johan Eliasch paid tribute to Vonn when speaking to reporters.<\/p>\n

Eliasch said, \u201cTragic, but it\u2019s ski racing I\u2019m afraid. I can only say thank you for what she has done for our sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause this race has been the talk of the Games and it\u2019s put our sport in the best possible light.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope she will have a speedy recovery and be back on skis very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
