Lindsey Vonn is back stateside -- even if she still can’t get back on her feet.

The Olympic ski legend revealed Monday night on X she’s back on “home soil” after her terrifying crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics … and while she admitted she still can’t stand, she says being back in the United States “feels amazing.”

Vonn was hospitalized for a week after suffering a brutal leg injury during the downhill event in Cortina d’Ampezzo. She’d been stuck overseas following multiple surgeries -- a grueling stretch she described as physically and emotionally draining before doctors finally cleared her to travel.

“Haven’t stood on my feet in over a week…been immobile in a hospital bed since my race,” she wrote in a post on X. “And although I’m not yet able to stand, being back on home soil feels amazing. Huge thank you to everyone in Italy for taking care of me.”

But instead of focusing on the pain, the 4-time Olympic medalist used her post to show gratitude … thanking the Italian medical staff who cared for her and the fans who flooded her with messages, flowers and love.
