Lindsey Vonn is not giving up!
The three-time Olympic medalist is seeking more in her comeback — despite a crash last week in which she suffered a ruptured ACL — and she’s showing off her workout as she goes for gold.
In a video set to Andy Grammer’s “Don’t Give Up on Me,” the 41-year-old skiing star executes a series of weighted squats, jumps and furious prone flutter kicks while wearing a brace on her left knee.
“I’m not giving up working as hard as I can to make it happen!” Vonn wrote in the caption of her Thursday, Feb. 5, post. “Thank you to my team and everyone for your incredible support. Keep believing.”
Earlier this week, Vonn announced that she will still compete in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, despite "completely" rupturing her ACL and suffering bone bruising and meniscal damage last week at a World Cup race in Switzerland.
Vonn shared the news of her injury in a press conference, telling reporters that she is currently "not in pain."

"It was painful initially after the crash," she said. "I had a feeling it was bad, but I held out hope until I saw the MRI in front of me. But I have not cried, I have not deviated from my plan."
She added, "I think I'm still able to fight, and I will do everything in my power to be in that starting gate."
On Thursday, Vonn caught a break when the opening women’s downhill training session was canceled due to continued snow in the region.
More than seven inches of snow has fallen this week on the Olympia delle Tofane course, and more was forecast into Thursday, ESPN reported.
