Lindsey Vonn shared a video on Instagram on Monday, November 4 that had longtime fans of the skier cheering for her progress.

In the video, Vonn, 40, jumped onto a series of progressively higher platforms on one leg. She set the montage to the song “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. Vonn, who had a knee replacement in July 2023, wore a flattering tan workout set and a smile that progressively bigger with each jump.

“It may seem insignificant, but I haven’t been able to jump on my right leg like that for many, many years,” she wrote in the caption. “Today I am SO much stronger than I was before! I literally had to take a moment and regroup… I got very emotional and I was so so happy. This is an incredible journey after surgery that I did not expect.”
