Following her crash on Sunday, Lindsey Vonn has undergone three surgical procedures to address her injuries.

In a recent update, Lindsey Vonn stated that she is gradually regaining her strength, but expects to undergo at least two additional operations to treat the leg fracture she sustained during the Winter Olympics.

The American skiing legend had returned to competition just nine days after suffering a left knee ligament rupture, only to crash into a gate 13 seconds into her downhill run in Cortina.

Vonn was airlifted to a hospital in Treviso, where medical staff diagnosed her with a complex fracture of the tibia in her left leg.

On Instagram, the 41-year-old athlete revealed that she is scheduled for a fourth surgery on Saturday, with another procedure to follow upon her return to the United States.

Vonn described her experience in the hospital as challenging, stating that it has been a difficult few days.

Although she is starting to feel more like herself, Vonn acknowledged that she still has a long recovery ahead, with another surgery scheduled for the following day, which could potentially allow her to leave the hospital and return home, where she will require further surgical intervention.

At present, Vonn remains hospitalized and largely immobile, awaiting further imaging to determine the extent of her injuries.

As the 2010 Olympic downhill champion, Vonn had been seeking a triumphant conclusion to her illustrious career.

Having retired in 2019 as the most decorated female skier at the time, with a history of severe leg injuries, Vonn's decision to return to the sport in 2024 was a surprise to many.

After undergoing a partial replacement of her right knee, Vonn announced her comeback to skiing in 2024.

Since her return, she has achieved eight World Cup podium finishes, including two gold medals, and was considered a strong contender for a medal at her fifth and final Olympics.

Despite suffering an ACL injury in the final World Cup race before the Olympics, Vonn was determined to compete in Cortina, a course where she had previously enjoyed significant success.

In addition to sharing her recovery progress, Vonn expressed gratitude to those who have sent her well-wishes and support since her injury.

She stated, "I am deeply thankful to everyone who has sent me flowers, letters, and gifts, which has been incredibly uplifting and helpful during this time."

Vonn feels fortunate to have a strong support network, which she believes will aid her in overcoming this challenging period.

She conveyed her appreciation, saying, "I want to extend my thanks and express my pride in Team USA, whose performances have been a great source of inspiration and motivation for me."

A US Congressional inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein's activities has led to a request for Peter Mandelson to provide information, citing his connections to the convicted financier.

In correspondence with Lord Mandelson, two members of the House Oversight Committee, both Democrats, pointed out that his extensive social and professional links to Epstein make his input relevant to their investigation.

The committee members emphasized that Lord Mandelson's knowledge is crucial to understanding Epstein's operations and have asked him to participate in a recorded interview to share his insights.

Lord Mandelson has previously expressed remorse for maintaining a relationship with Epstein and offered apologies to the victims of Epstein's actions; his response to the current request is awaited.

As the committee lacks the authority to compel Lord Mandelson's testimony, the request is based on a voluntary basis, issued by Representatives Robert Garcia and Suhas Subramanyam.

The Democratic representatives are seeking Lord Mandelson's cooperation in their probe into Epstein's alleged sex trafficking, aiming to gather information about his involvement and that of others.

Their goal is to identify individuals who may have enabled or conspired with Epstein, as well as to comprehend the scope of his criminal activities.

The letter to Lord Mandelson notes that despite no longer holding his former positions, his historical ties to Epstein and the knowledge he possesses make his contribution to the inquiry significant.

In light of the serious allegations surrounding Epstein, the committee has asked Lord Mandelson to make himself available for a formal, transcribed interview to discuss Epstein's crimes and those of his potential accomplices.

Lord Mandelson has been given a deadline of 27 February to respond to the request.

This development follows a similar request made to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in November, in which 16 Democratic members of the oversight committee asked him to answer questions related to the Epstein investigation.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor had his titles revoked, including his prince designation, in October, amid ongoing scrutiny of his association with Epstein.

He has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein's activities.

In a recent revelation, Catherine Zeta-Jones has embarked on a new hobby – art collecting – which interestingly parallels her latest role in a film.

Zeta-Jones plays the part of an art consultant in The Gallerist, a movie that made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival just last month.

According to her, this hobby reflects a personal interest that has been growing over time, and her collection now includes works by renowned sculptor Henry Moore and contemporary artist Marc Quinn.

Born in Swansea, Zeta-Jones resides in New York with her husband, actor Michael Douglas, and notes that her social circle there comprises more individuals from the art world compared to her network in Los Angeles.

In an interview with People magazine, Zeta-Jones mentioned that she has spent more time on the East Coast with her husband and has not been actively involved in the Los Angeles social scene.

She stated that her social interactions are more frequent with business professionals, individuals from Wall Street, and those involved in the art world in New York.

Zeta-Jones has developed a strong affinity for the New York art scene, describing her collecting style as eclectic.

She has been gradually exploring the world of art, taking a cautious approach to this new interest.

On the occasion of their shared birthday, Michael Douglas gifted her a piece by Marc Quinn, known for his expensive artwork, including the sculpture Myth Venus, which sold for $1,325,000 at Christie's New York in 2014.

Quinn also created the notable installation Alison Lapper Pregnant, displayed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2004.

Zeta-Jones expressed her fondness for sculpture, mentioning that she owns a Henry Moore piece, a gift from her father-in-law, Kirk, which she and her husband cherish.

The actress also enjoys visiting flea markets and purchasing artwork during her travels to different locations.

She shared that she likes to acquire a small memento from each place she visits as a reminder of her experiences.

This newfound interest in art presents a contrast to the darker tone of her film, The Gallerist, where she portrays an art consultant entangled in a plot to sell a deceased body as a work of art.

The comedy-thriller features a star-studded cast, including Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, Charli xcx, and Zach Galifianakis, alongside Zeta-Jones.
