American skiing sensation Lindsey Vonn has updated fans on her physical condition after having to undergo multiple surgeries following the end of her career.
Vonn retired from the sport in 2019 as she could no longer compete at the level she wanted, and she has then had to have multiple knee surgeries.
Sharing a message with plenty of photos on her Instagram account, Vonn explains just how tough it was to keep going under the knife and build her muscles back up.
Vonn’s inspiring message
“I’ve been bruised and broken but I’ve always come out the other side a better person. No matter how many times I fell, I always got back up. I didn’t do it alone though. I am so thankful to have had the support of friends, family and you guys, my fans,” she wrote.
“Knowing I had people supporting me helped me in my darkest hours,” she continued.
“Every day I tried to put one foot in front of the other until it eventually got me back to where I wanted to go… which was usually the top of the mountain.
“We are all on our own paths, but if you’re injured or going through a hard time, believe in yourself and know that you will come out of it a better and stronger person. You got this,” she concluded.
In 2019, Vonn underwent an operation to repair her torn lateral collateral ligament (LCL) but has continued to have knee problems.
“I’ve been dealing with all the damage from my ski racing career and have been trying to manage the pain as best I can,” Vonn wrote on Instagram in July after she revealed she was undergoing another surgery.
