Lindsey Vonn shows off progress in gym 1 month after 2026 Olympics crash

Lindsey Vonnis continuing to regain her strength just over a month after a major crash at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

In a new Instagrampostshared over the weekend, the athlete is seen performing six unassisted pull-ups before lowering herself onto a step stool, returning to her crutches and fist-bumping her trainer to celebrate the milestone.

"First set of pull ups post surgery," she wrote in the caption. "Slowly getting there!"

Lindsey Vonn thanks doctor she says saved her leg from amputation after Olympics crash

Earlier this year, the decorated skier suffered back-to-back injuries. Vonntore the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, in her left knee on Jan. 30 during a World Cup race in Switzerland. Then, on Feb. 8 at the Milan Cortina Games, shecrashedabout 13 seconds after starting the women's downhill event -- one of her specialties -- on the Olympia delle Tofane slope in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Following the Olympics crash, Vonn was airlifted by helicopter from the course to an Italian hospital. She also documented her return home, flying from Italy back to the United States before being transferred by ambulance to another hospital.

Vonn later shared that she suffered multiple serious injuries, including a complex tibia fracture, fibular head fracture, tibial plateau fracture and compartment syndrome in her leg. She said she underwent a six-hour surgery, including a fasciotomy, and later credited her doctor with saving her leg from amputation.

She said at the time that the injuries and recovery came with significant pain.

"I was really struggling. Pain was a little bit out of control, and I had a blood transfusion, and that helped me a lot," she said, adding that "it was definitely not the way I wanted to end my Olympics."

In aposton X last month, Vonn acknowledged the difficult days of recovery but said she is determined to push forward.

"Today was a hard day… my physical battle began the second I got hurt but the mental battle started today," she wrote. "...I do know hard days are coming but I will find a way back to the top of the mountain of life."

Matt Fitzpatrick birdies final hole to rally for Valspar Championship title

England's Matt Fitzpatrick got the job done a week after coming up just short.

Fitzpatrick made a 14-foot putt for birdie on the final hole and waited for two groups behind him to finish, winning the Valspar Championship by shooting 3-under-par 68 on Sunday at Palm Harbor, Fla.

"I was playing well going into this week, obviously wanted to continue that and I felt like I had confidence in myself to do so," Fitzpatrick said. "Then obviously to sort of do that over four rounds was special this week."

It was a form of redemption for Fitzpatrick, who a week earlier was the runner-up in The Players Championship.

Fitzpatrick finished at 11-under 273 on Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club's Copperhead Course, one stroke better than David Lipsky to secure his third victory on the PGA Tour.

To drain a pressure putt added to the pleasure.

"To get it done like that was special," Fitzpatrick said.

Lipsky, who posted 70, almost rolled in a 33-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to force a playoff, but needed a tap-in to finish his round. It was nearly an incredible recovery after his tee shot was in the fairway rough on that hole.

Yet the week's work marked a significant step for Lipsky.

"This week was an awesome week and I'm really looking forward to seeing what events I get into the rest of the year and trying to play my way into those playoffs," Lipsky said.

Fitzpatrick had a consistent tournament, turning in 68s for the first, third and fourth rounds. He last won on the tour at the 2023 RBC Heritage.

"To obviously come away with a win this week is really special, considering last week's performance as well," Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick wasn't the lone Englishman with some excitement. Jordan Smith shot 66, putting him in third place for his best finish on the PGA Tour. Smith played the final 14 holes in 5 under after starting with a pair of birdies followed by a pair of bogeys.

"We got off to a nice quick start, and then before you know it, we were in the hunt there," Smith said. "So, it's just nice to know that we can get there."

Smith said he thrived on the opportunity to make a run toward the top.

"I always watch the leaderboards, I like to know where I am," Smith said. "It's just nice that in those situations I know what to do."

South Korea's Sungjae Im shot 74, tying for fourth place with Xander Schauffele (65) and England's Marco Penge (71) at 8 under.

Im, who was atop the leaderboard after each of the first three rounds, fell from the top spot quickly on Sunday. He had bogeys on three of the first six holes and five of the first 10. He rallied to pull within two strokes with two holes to play but couldn't complete the comeback.

Im was joined in the final pairing by Brandt Snedeker, who also struggled. Snedeker shot 76, finishing at 4 under and in a tie for 18th place.

Snedeker, who was seeking his first victory since 2018, had a three-putt double-bogey on the 12th hole that cost him a share of the lead and never recovered.

"Stood on the 10th tee tied for the lead, which is all you can do," Snedeker said. "My swing left me on the back nine. I really struggled. I couldn't really find anything to put the ball where I wanted to."

Schauffele and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, who ended in a seventh-place logjam at 7 under, had the final day's best rounds at 65.

White House installs statue of Christopher Columbus on its grounds

By Kanishka Singh

WASHINGTON, March 22 (Reuters) - The White House has installed on its grounds a statue of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus in the ‌latest bid by President Donald Trump's administration to reshape depictions of U.S. ‌history and culture.

The campaign against an ideology Trump calls "anti-American" has encompassed the dismantling of slavery exhibits, restoration ​of Confederate statues and other moves that civil rights advocates say could reverse decades of social progress.

"The statue is now residing on the north side of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House campus," Trump told the Conference of Presidents ‌of Major Italian American Organizations ⁠in a letter on Sunday.

He thanked the group for its gift of the statue to the government.

During the 2020 Black Lives ⁠Matter protests after the killing of George Floyd, several U.S. cities took down statues of the Italian navigator, whose Spanish-funded voyages from the 1490s onward paved the way for ​Europe's conquests ​of the Americas.

Floyd's killing led to a ​worldwide re-examination of the colonial ‌era and the legacy of slavery.

Protesters for racial equality challenged heroic portrayals of Columbus, saying they downplayed or ignored his cruelty toward indigenous people of the Americas.

Trump called Columbus "the original American hero and one of the most gallant and visionary men to ever walk the face of the Earth," in the letter made public on ‌Sunday.

The statue at the White House is a ​reconstruction of one unveiled by late President Ronald ​Reagan in Baltimore in 1984.

In ​2020, that statue was dumped into the city's harbor by protesters ‌whom Trump called "anti-American rioters" in his ​letter.

Last week, the Interior ​Department said a statue of Caesar Rodney, an enslaver and signer of the Declaration of Independence, will be displayed in Washington after it was ​taken down amid racial justice ‌protests in Delaware in 2020.

A statue of Confederate General Albert Pike, overturned ​during 2020 protests, was reinstalled last year in Washington.
