Lindsey Vonn Tops St. Moritz Training, Sets Conditional Retirement Plan

She signaled fresh momentum with a Swiss training best alongside a pledge to end her season after Cortina absent title contention.

Overview

  • Vonn said her final race will be the Super‑G on February 12 unless she remains in contention to win a World Cup title at season’s end.
  • After posting the fastest downhill training time in St. Moritz, she declared she is in the best physical shape of her life.
  • Her preparation has included a stricter program with added muscle mass, refined nutrition, and an equipment setup she says now suits her.
  • Aksel Lund Svindal, who joined her coaching team this summer, praised her balance, turns, and focus, saying he has never seen her like this.
  • Returning last season via a FIS wildcard, she logged top‑six finishes in St. Anton and a podium in Sun Valley, and she continues to race with a partial titanium knee prosthesis without pain.
