So she’s really racing down the slopes again with a starting number. Fast, downhill and super-G. Not as fast as before, but Lindsey Vonn is back in the world of alpine skiing, loud, engaging and feeling like she’s the center of attention, as is her wont. Vonn, the second most successful skier in the world behind Mikaela Shiffrin, took a break for five and a half years, is now 40 – and skis with an artificial knee joint. A situation that many in the alpine ski world can only shake their heads about.
