And walking is actually still really hard for me.’Amid her ongoing rehab, Vonn has been romantically linked to a fellow alpine ski star in recent months.A bombshell report from People in May claimed she has been getting close to French racer Matthieu Bailet, with the pair initially spending time together in New York City.The pair were photographed backstage after a performance of the Broadway musical ‘The Outsiders’, before they were also spotted shopping in SoHo and riding on the subway together the same week Vonn was seen at the Met Gala.Moreover, eagle-eyed fans saw her post a flirty side-eye emoji in the comments of an Instagram post of Bailet, 30, with his shirt off outside while he washed his car.

The opening World Cup races take place with a giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, in late October.
