American ski hero Lindsey Vonn, 41, who suffered a serious injury that almost cut his leg at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina D'Ampezzo, has begun rehabilitation training just four weeks after the accident.

According to the British 'The Sun' on the 7th (Korea Standard Time), Bonn recently released a video on his social media (SNS) accelerating his rehabilitation by weight training in the gym. It is a superhuman resilience that has been shown less than a month since February 8, the day of the accident.

Vaughan entered the alpine ski downhill race at the Topane Alpine Ski Center in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy on the 8th, but he fell 13 seconds after his departure and was rushed to the helicopter.

The media said, "Shrieking in pain, he was rushed to the hospital, and the results of the diagnosis were disastrous. He was diagnosed with complex left leg fractures, right ankle fractures, and severe compartment syndrome, including tibia and fibula, he said at the time of the injury.

He then explained, "It was an emergency that could require an amputation of the leg, but fortunately, I was able to return home last week after safely completing several surgeries."

According to CBS Sports, Vaughan suffered a serious blood loss during the six-hour major surgery and even had to undergo an emergency blood transfusion. "Vaughan was taken to a hospital in Treviso, Italy, shortly after the accident and had to endure a difficult hospitalization with little movement for about two weeks," the media reported.

After overcoming the difficult surgery, Vaughan shared a video of himself standing up without a chair and building strength in his lower body to his fans. "There are definitely hard times, but I'm still grateful and continue to work hard," Vaughan said in the post, adding, "The only goal is to get back healthy. I just do my best every day," he said, expressing his positive and strong will.

Sports stars and fans around the world are cheering him on with his indomitable will. NBA icon LeBron James said, "You can do it. This is just a small thing for the giant," he said, giving strong support.

The Sun said, "The world's attention is focused on whether Bon, a three-time Winter Olympics medalist, will be able to overcome his terrible nightmare of injury and return to the ice once again."
