United StatesAlpine skier Lindsey Vonn sustained a severe injury during the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics, including a complex tibia fracture, a broken ankle, and severe compartment syndrome. After undergoing four surgeries and spending significant time in a wheelchair and on crutches, she recently admitted in an interview with People.com that her ankle remains broken and walking is still difficult five months post-injury. While she has made progress, including walking on her own, her father has indicated that she will not return to competitive skiing, marking the likely end of her career.
