He was released from hospital on September 5 and shared a photo where his cuts and scars were still visible.
But the cyclist appeared to be back on the mend as he attended the Pho3nix Foundation Sport With Purpose Charity Gala 2025 in Zurich.
Froome, 40, spoke on stage as part of a panel consisting of Usain Bolt, Anthony Joshua and Mika Haikonnen.
He was interviewed ahead of the ceremony too where he was asked about his health.
He said: “I think this was a motivation for me to try and push in terms of the rehab and getting out of hospital in time to be ready for this event because it sounds like its going to be an amazing evening.”
Froome looked stylish in a tuxedo and posed for a photo with eight-time Olympic gold medalist Bolt.
He also took a selfie with Joshua and was in high spirits after undergoing a quick recovery.
