Lindsey Vonn undergoes ninth surgery on her left leg after Olympic crash

At the Olympics in February, Lindsey Vonn crashed and suffered a fractured leg that required eight surgeries.

Now she has undergone surgery for the ninth time, this time to repair the cruciate ligament she damaged a week before the Olympics.

“Now we’re going to remove all the screws from the leg so that we can insert a cruciate ligament. It hasn’t been possible to do that before,” Vonn says in a clip on Instagram.

Vonn says she hopes this will be the last surgery she needs.

The 42-year-old has not given up on the idea of a comeback in the World Cup.

“We’ll see how everything feels,” she told The Athletic.
