Lindsey Vonn Eyes Olympic Return as Comeback Season Concludes in Sun Valley

At 40, Vonn is competing in her final races on U.S. soil, using this season to prepare for a potential fifth Winter Olympics in 2026.

Lindsey Vonn is racing in the women's downhill and Super-G events at the Sun Valley World Cup finals, which may be her last competitions on U.S. snow.
Her comeback season follows a six-year hiatus and a partial knee replacement in April 2024, which alleviated chronic pain and enabled her return to competitive skiing.
This season has been focused on testing equipment and refining her performance, with her best result being a fourth-place finish in a Super-G race in January 2025.
Vonn has expressed satisfaction with her progress and plans to continue improving next season, with her ultimate goal being the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy.
She hopes her return inspires others to challenge societal expectations about age and ability, emphasizing that passion and physical readiness should define one's pursuits.
