American ski star Lindsey Vonn has undergone her ninth operation since breaking her leg and ankle in a downhill crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina. Surgeons planned to remove metalwork fitted during earlier procedures and repair her damaged knee ligament. The 42-year-old said she was nervous but praying it would be her final one, with another six to nine months' recovery now ahead.
