Lindsey Vonn is feeling stronger than ever!
The Olympian took to Instagram on Wednesday, November 5, to share her jaw-dropping body transformation after months of intense training and dedication.
Lindsey Vonn shared her powerful body transformation online.
“Goal attained!!” she captioned a series of side by side selfies showing her progress from March to October. “My goal for this summer was to get stronger; more lean muscle mass, become more agile and gain 12 lbs. Never thought I would be trying to gain so much weight in my life and it was actually not easy to do! But, just a few weeks before the season starts, I have officially met my goal! All the long hours in the gym have paid off and I feel stronger than ever. Cannot wait to start the season!!”
In the photos, Vonn confidently posed in sleek workout gear, showing off her toned abs and sculpted arms. Each image captured her evolution — more definition, more strength, and a clear sense of pride. She labeled her transformation, “My evolution — March–June–August–October."
The athlete revealed she gained '12 pounds' of lean muscle.
Fans filled the comments section with love and support.
“so proud of you!! hard work always pays off!” one wrote.
Another gushed, “Congrats LV that’s mega!! 👏🏽👏🏽.”
Someone else chimed in, “It’s like that classic song by Britney Spears called 'Stronger!' ‘Stronger, than yesterday!’” while another fan shared, “Me and my sister have looked up to you our entire lives, beyond stoked to watch you work this season😭🙌.”
The post follows Vonn’s big comeback announcement after retiring from alpine skiing in 2019. Following several injuries and a successful knee replacement in 2024, she’s officially back and ready to hit the slopes.

The three-time Olympic medalist also recently graced the cover of Time magazine, released on October 27 — a moment that clearly meant the world to her. In a heartfelt Instagram post about the feature, she wrote, “Mom, I’m on the cover of Time Magazine!”
“As my eyes fill with tears (not ideal while doing intervals on the bike 🥹), I can’t quite put into words what this means to me. @TIME was always one of my mom’s favorite magazines. I can still see her in bed in Minnesota, reading each issue intently—ice cream in hand. I know she would be proud,” she shared.
Lindsey Vonn also landed on the cover of 'Time' magazine.
She continued, “I never could have imagined, even in my wildest dreams, that my life would lead me here. I’m just a girl from Minnesota who wanted to ski fast. But this cover means I’ve done a lot more in my life than just ski fast. People might not know what I’ve done on the mountain, but they know that no matter how many times I fall, I will always pick myself back up, and I hope it inspires others to do the same!”
Vonn wrapped up her post with an inspiring message, writing, “At 41, I’m still chasing dreams, still pushing limits, still believing in what’s possible. My hope is that anyone reading this remembers: never give up on yourself. Never stop dreaming. ❤️ No matter what happens next, I’ve already won—because I’ve followed my heart, my passion and my purpose. 🙏🏻”
Lindsey Vonn said said it's 'fun' to return to skiing.
When asked about her decision to return to competition, she kept it simple.
“I don’t need this. I’m doing it because I love it. It’s fun and it’s a challenge. And I think it means a lot to a lot of people,” she said.
“It’s not like I lack fulfillment. I don’t lack purpose. I don’t lack joy. I have all the things that I need in my life. Even though I’ve been through a lot of s---, I’m lucky enough to do what I love one more time. The only danger this presents is to myself. I am not endangering anyone else in this process,” she added.
