Now in post-surgery, 32-year-old Vonn has spoken out about the incident by sharing a photo of her scar and a heartfelt message about her journey to recovery.

“My scars remind me that I am strong and beautiful,” Vonn wrote in a tweet, in which she also shared a photo of herself in a fitted leather Giorgio Armani dress from outside the designer’s show at Milan Fashion Week. In the image, Vonn, who is Tiger Woods’ ex, shows off her scar by angling her right arm toward the camera.
Vonn has long served as an inspiration for women and young girls worldwide. When she first injured herself in a serious crash in Colorado, she wrote on Facebook that she would “return to the slopes as soon as possible, as I always do!”
