Lindsey Vonn Set for World Cup Comeback at Age 40

The ski legend will compete in two super-G races in St. Moritz next weekend, nearly six years after retiring due to injury.

Lindsey Vonn, a four-time overall World Cup champion with 82 career wins, is returning to competitive skiing after retiring in 2019 due to injuries.
The 40-year-old underwent partial knee replacement surgery in April, which she says has allowed her to ski pain-free for the first time in years.
Her comeback begins with two super-G events in St. Moritz, Switzerland, on December 21 and 22, a venue where she has previously secured five victories.
Vonn's ultimate goal is to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, though she acknowledges the journey back to peak form will take time.
She has drawn inspiration from athletes like Simone Biles and emphasized her enduring passion for skiing as the driving force behind her return.
