Lindsey Vonn may be sharing updates from a hospital bed as she eyes further surgeries in the wake of her 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics accident, but fans aren't just looking at her up-to-date content. The skier, who fractured her tibia just two days into this year's Olympics, was featured on X back in 2018, when Sports Illustrated Swim reminded everyone of her sensational swimsuit body. Enjoying a beachfront shoot ahead of the pandemic, Lindsey stunned in a cut-out bathing suit, flaunting her killer body while soaking up the sun. Ahead, see the photo, plus the rather interesting fan comments.

Scroll for the photo. Displaying her rippling arm and shoulder muscles while photographed by blue ocean waters, Lindsey sizzled in a skintight, metallic blue swimsuit with teal accents and embossed details forming a ribbed effect.
Highlighting her muscle machine of a body while flashing her curves, the 41-year-old teased her cleavage in her backless look, going just about as skimpy as you can get while staying safe.

Lifting one hand to her head while turning her head to the camera, Lindsey flashed her pearly whites while smiling, looking like a total bombshell while sporting her light hair down. Looking tan, she glowed from a sunkissed face of makeup, layering on bronzer for a natural finish.
"Lindsey Vonn. BODY PAINT. Enough said," SI Swim wrote, noting how tight Lindsey's nipple-baring swimwear was. Fans caught on to the caption. A cheeky user told the athlete that it looked "a little nippily out there." Another asked Vonn if she was "actually going to swim in that." A third simply wrote: "Amazing." Lindsey made her SI Swim debut back in 2010 with a Whistler, CO shoot.
