Vonn recently underwent knee replacement surgery, stating that it was a decision she made after a lot of thought due to the amount of pain in her knee's lateral compartment.

"After a lot of thought, research and talking to many many doctors, I made the decision to get a knee replacement. I have severe tri-compartment degeneration but the main compartment that has been painful is the lateral compartment, or the outside of my knee," the American said.
