Lindsey Vonn is speaking out for the first time after her terrifying crash.

The 41-year-old Olympian was unfortunately involved in a horrible accident on the ski slope while competing on Sunday (February 8) in the 2026 Winter Olympics. She ended up crashing and needed a helicopter to come assist. She then was “treated by a multidisciplinary team” and “underwent an orthopedic operation to stabilize a fracture reported in her left leg.”

The day after the crash and surgery, Lindsey took to X to share her first message.
