Lindsey Vonn Returns to World Cup Skiing

Lindsey Vonn, the legendary American skier, made her return to the World Cup circuit for the first time in nearly six years, finishing 14th in the super-G at St. Moritz, Switzerland. At 40 years old, Vonn aims to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics after previously stepping away from the sport in 2019 due to injuries. Her comeback follows a successful knee surgery earlier this year, which replaced part of her knee with titanium, allowing her to ski pain-free. Despite finishing 1.18 seconds behind the leader, Vonn expressed satisfaction with her performance and enthusiasm for future races. She plans to compete again in St. Anton, Austria, in January and hopes to accumulate points for better seeding in future events. Vonn continues to inspire with her passion for skiing, stating, 'Life is short. You gotta live every day to the maximum.'
