Lindsey Vonn, the 2010 Olympic gold medal winner in downhill, plans to take her first steps without crutches at the Met Gala following a severe leg injury suffered in a crash at the Winter Olympics. Despite using crutchers in public appearances, Vonn's goal is to walk short distances unassisted. This comes less than three months after a devastating crash at The 2026 Winter Olympics ended her competition. No timeline has been confirmed for a full recovery or a potential return to skiing.
