American skier Lindsey Vonn has had her ninth operation after breaking a leg and ankle in a crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The 42-year-old uploaded a video on social media before the procedure, saying she was "praying" it would be her last operation and she was "nervous and anxious" but "excited to hopefully put it behind me".
Vonn explained surgeons would remove all of the hardware that was installed during eight previous procedures to repair her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
