Lindsey Vonn‘s ongoing recovery includes some much-needed pool time.
“June is the gas, no windows!” the Olympian, 41, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 21, along with a slideshow of how she’s spending her summer.
The first photo showed Vonn rocking a black bikini while soaking up the sun on a warm afternoon. Her blonde hair was down and falling in natural waves.
Vonn included additional moments where she was out with Laura Dern, Gayle King and other loved ones. The skier also attended a Black Eyes Peas concert.
In addition to her fun adventures, Vonn shared several snaps at the gym. In one clip, Vonn can be seen doing pull ups and posing with exercise equipment.
Earlier this year, Vonn suffered several leg injuries. Back in January, she tore her ACL during a World Cup race in Switzerland. Despite the pain, Vonn pushed through to qualify for the Olympics, which began the following month. While competing in Milan and Cortina, Vonn crashed during the downhill race and had to be flown to the hospital.
Vonn suffered a complex tibia fracture and underwent emergency surgery. The athlete later revealed that she almost had her leg amputated due to the severe trauma caused by the crash.

“Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg,” she explained in a social media video in March. “He saved my leg from being amputated. He did what’s called a fasciotomy where he cut open both sides of my leg and kind of filleted it up so to speak, let it breathe, and he saved me.”
After the surgeries, Vonn’s top priority has been her recovery. She started in the gym again six weeks after the crash.
“First set of pull-ups after surgery… slowly getting there,” Vonn captioned a video showing her workout routine.
As Vonn continued to put in the physical work, she opened up about the difficulties of recovery treat.
“All these things, it took time,” she said in an interview with April Athletics. “There were so many layers to it. That made it challenging. And then of course when you have such slow progress it inevitably becomes more mentally challenging as well.”
Last month, Vonn attended the Met Gala and ditched his crutches for the first time. Before arriving at the event, Vonn shared how much it meant to her to reach her recovery goal.
“I’ve been in such a different world, especially since my crash,” she shared Vogue before the Met Gala. “This is kind of my coming-out party — I get to be around people, wearing a dress that’s pretty and feminine, and putting my crutches down for the first time.”
