Lindsey Vonn is back stateside -- even if she still can’t get back on her feet.

The Olympic ski legend revealed Monday night on X she’s back on “home soil” after her terrifying crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics … and while she admitted she still can’t stand, she says being back in the United States “feels amazing.”

Vonn was hospitalized for a week after suffering a brutal leg injury during the downhill event in Cortina d’Ampezzo. She’d been stuck overseas following multiple surgeries -- a grueling stretch she described as physically and emotionally draining before doctors finally cleared her to travel.

“Haven’t stood on my feet in over a week…been immobile in a hospital bed since my race,” she wrote in a post on X. “And although I’m not yet able to stand, being back on home soil feels amazing. Huge thank you to everyone in Italy for taking care of me.”

But instead of focusing on the pain, the 4-time Olympic medalist used her post to show gratitude … thanking the Italian medical staff who cared for her and the fans who flooded her with messages, flowers and love.

The new owner of Jeffrey Epstein's notorious Zorro Ranch in New Mexico is speaking out, claiming the property was never visited by police, and he says he welcomes any investigation ... after allegations women and girls were sex trafficked there for years.

Don Huffines — a wealthy Texas businessman and former Republican state senator with ties to MAGA — posted a message on X Monday night, saying he and his family purchased the ranch in 2024 and "maintained an open line of communication with local authorities."

However, law enforcement never requested access to the Santa Fe property even though Epstein was accused of sex trafficking and sexually assaulting women and girls there when he was alive, according to Huffines. There was also talk about bodies being buried on the property ... but that was never proven.

An attorney in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is promising to cough up a $100K reward to anyone who has information that leads to an arrest in Arizona's Nancy Guthrie case.

He told local channel WITI-TV he feels the anonymity may encourage people to come forward, and Crime Stoppers is the "perfect place to do it."

TMZ Sports caught up with the ESPN star, who previously told us he had no interest in running, during Kenny Smith's The FlyHouse All-Star Bash presented by Resorts World in Los Angeles, who told us straight up, "The country sucks."

"I think the country is devoid of leadership, the kind of leadership we have, we don't need. The kind of leadership we should be getting, nobody is stepping up and doing. I don't desire to be a politician, but in the same breath, the opportunity to go on a debate stage and call out these politicians for the things that they've done to damage this country is something that very much appeals to me," SAS told us matter-of-factly.
