Lindsey Vonn is seven months removed from her serious leg injury.
The longtime U.S. Winter Olympian suffered a devastating leg injury at the Winter Games in Italy back in late January. Vonn, 41, was competing in what should have been a farewell to her Olympics career. Unfortunately, it crashed out in devastating form, as she suffered a severe, complex fracture of her left tibia, tibial plateau, and fibular head, alongside compartment syndrome.
Vonn has been recovering since, though.
This week, the legendary U.S. Winter Olympian impressed with a gym workout post on Instagram, that left fans mesmerized by her recovery progress.
“I will never stop moving forward…why would I stop?” she shared on Instagram.
Fans are inspired by Vonn’s recovery

“I had a tibia and fibula fracture one year ago, i know how hard it is, its insane that you are doing so well after 6 months,” one fan added.
“My accident was February 4. I’m having a hard time walking,” one fan added.
“You should be content in every book about motivation and willpower,” one fan added.
“You fell on the mountain, but you chose to rise in the gym. Your scar isn’t a pause, it’s the proof that you kept going. Because those born to fly never stop moving forward…. Amazing,” one fan added.
