Lindsey Vonn Eyes Return to World Cup Skiing at Age 40

The former Olympic champion plans to compete in St. Moritz next month, five years after retiring due to injuries.

Lindsey Vonn has applied for a wild card to compete in two super-G races in St. Moritz, Switzerland, on December 21 and 22.
The 40-year-old retired in 2019 after a series of injuries but has recovered following a knee replacement surgery earlier this year.
To qualify for the St. Moritz races, Vonn must first reduce her FIS points by competing in earlier events, likely in Panorama, Canada, on December 11 and 12.
Vonn retired as the most decorated female skier in history with 82 World Cup victories, a record since surpassed by Mikaela Shiffrin's 98 wins.
The new FIS invitation system allows former ski stars to return to competition with improved starting positions after years of retirement.
