Lindsey Vonn made it through her fifth surgery in the aftermath of her brutal crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics, but she’s admittedly “struggling” with the severity of her injury.

Vonn, 41, shared an update from the hospital on Friday, Feb. 20, after her latest surgery, her first since flying back to the U.S.

“Made it through surgery… it took a bit more than 6 hours to complete. As you can see, it required a lot of plates and screws to put back together but Dr Hackett did an incredible job,” the skier wrote in an Instagram post, which included a video of her getting wheeled around the hospital, a photo of the dozens of screws and plates that were going into her leg and two X-ray images of her metal-filled tibia.

“With the extent of the trauma, I’ve been struggling a bit post op and have not yet been able to be discharged from the hospital just yet… almost there,” Vonn wrote. “Baby steps.”

“Will explain the injury and what it all means soon,” she promised.
