The ski legend, who suffered a leg amputation in a terrible crash, finally left the hospital and thanked his fans and colleagues for their support. In particular, global sports stars, including soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr), paid tribute to Bonn's fighting spirit and sent messages of support.
"Ronaldo sent a message of support to Lindsey Vonn (42, USA), who was barely out of the danger of leg amputation," British media Daily Mail said on the 25th (Korea Standard Time).
Bonn, who is known as a skiing legend, shed tears on his personal social network service (SNS) confessing to the dark times after the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics accident.
In response, Ronaldo said in Bonn's post, "Champion is determined not only at the moment of victory, but also at the moment of refusing to give up," adding, "The mountains you conquered were never greater than the power you had. Keep fighting. Legend always happens again," he wrote in a comment. In response, Bon replied, "Your support means a lot to me."
Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic cheered Bonn, saying, "Giving up is not an option."
Vaughan had a disastrous accident on the stage of the Winter Olympics just two weeks ago. While passing through the first gate in the women's downhill final on the 8th, he hit the course steeply and crashed in the air. In this accident, Bonn suffered fatal injuries such as complex tibia fractures, nasopharyngeal fractures, and ankle fractures and was rushed by helicopter.
In particular, the situation was very serious, with blood accumulating in the injured area compressing muscles and nerves, raising the possibility of leg amputation. "Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg from the brink of amputation through fasciostomy," Vaughan said in the video. "It will take about a year for all bones to heal. After that, we will decide whether to remove the metal screws embedded in the leg and undergo the last operation to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament," he explained.
In fact, Bonn's bid for the Olympics was a thorny road from the beginning. Bonn, who had already undergone reconstructive surgery on his right knee in 2024 and was full of titanium implants, suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament at the Olympics just a week before the opening of the Olympics.
Bonn, who had already competed in the Olympics even in his broken body, could not avoid a tragic accident in the end. Nevertheless, Bonn said, "I have made a return that everyone said was impossible even after undergoing knee artificial joint replacement surgery," and stressed, "Even if I didn't reach the medal I aimed for, what I've been doing was well worth it."
