Ski racer Lindsey Vonn is planning a comeback in the Alpine Ski World Cup at the age of 40. This was announced by the Olympic champion and the US Ski Association.
Vonn ended her successful career, which was also marked by many injuries, in 2019. It was only last February that the US ski star had an artificial knee joint inserted.
“My goal is to enjoy this and hopefully this path will lead me to World Cup racing,” Vonn said New York Times. “I wouldn’t be back on the US Ski Team if I didn’t have intentions.” This weekend she will take part in training with the US team in the US state of Colorado for the first time.
With 82 victories, Vonn is the third most successful World Cup racer in history after her compatriot Mikaela Shiffrin (97) and the Swede Ingemar Stenmark (86).
