Lindsey Vonn's recent return to competitive skiing faced challenges at the Super-G World Cup in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where she finished 1.4 seconds behind winner Lara Gut-Behrami, placing 13th. Vonn, aiming to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics, experienced a DNF in her previous race in Cortina d'Ampezzo after losing control with several gates remaining. Despite these setbacks, she remains optimistic about her progress since returning from retirement, having shown improvement in earlier races this season. Vonn's struggles come amid a competitive field, with Breezy Johnson finishing fourth and other U.S. skiers performing well. Gut-Behrami's victory marked her first win of the season, showcasing her ability to navigate the challenging conditions. Vonn's determination continues as she prepares for upcoming events, including the World Championships in February.
