Lindsey Vonn has been seen in a wheelchair as she discusses her mental health after a February downhill crash during the Milan Cortina Games. The crash left her with a severe fracture to her left leg and required multiple surgeries, with doctors reportedly nearly amputating the limb.

She has spent the past several months recovering from those surgeries, and in public comments has opened up about the mental health impact of the accident and the ongoing recovery process.
