Former Olympic alpine skiing champion Lindsey Vonn has undergone a ninth surgical procedure on her injured leg, according to a report from AFP on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old American, who retired from competitive skiing in 2019, was photographed attending Paris Fashion Week in August. Vonn has dealt with persistent leg injuries throughout her career, including multiple knee surgeries and fractures.
Vonn won three Olympic medals — gold in downhill at the 2010 Vancouver Games and bronze in downhill at both the 2010 and 2018 Olympics — along with four overall World Cup titles and 82 World Cup victories, the most by any woman in alpine skiing history.
Details of the latest surgery and her expected recovery timeline were not immediately disclosed.
