The Olympic champion looked incredible as she soaked up the sun on a boat with her adorable puppy by her side.
Lindsey Vonn treated herself to a relaxing day on the water ahead of a major knee surgery on Tuesday, July 25.

And Lindsey held true to her words and posted more about the surgery on Thursday. With a handful of photos from the hospital — including Lindsey in a wheelchair and in a hospital bed — the star dished more details about the successful operation.
“I got another surgery because I’ve been dealing with all the damage from my ski racing career and have been trying to manage the pain as best I can,” she wrote. “This surgery is hopefully a big step to help me long term. We still have work to do, and most likely another surgery, but I hope this will help me for a bit.”
Lindsey went on to say that she has zero regrets about her sporting lifestyle that has caused so many issues with her body. “I loved skiing and I’m never going to complain about all the the things that have happened to me. It’s still the same motto as it always has been: When we fall, we pick ourselves up! 🙏🏻❤️💪🏻”
