Lindsey Vonn breaks her silence: This is how the ski queen struggles with criticism!

Lindsey Vonn, the former ski queen, commented on her emotional state after the World Ski Championships in Saalbach with a moving Instagram post. “I'm not going to lie, the last few weeks have been tough,” admits the 40-year-old American, who has faced a lot of criticism since her World Cup comeback. The World Cup didn't go as planned, and Vonn said the negative comments about her age and performance weighed heavily on her. Despite all the challenges, she remains determined: “I believe in myself and know that with hard work I will get where I want to go,” reports the platform Krone.at.

Speculation about a possible comeback continues to grow. After retiring from professional sports five years ago and living with a knee replacement since April, Vonn hinted on her social media that she might be able to compete again. "So why not give it your all? You never know where hard work will take you," she wrote in another post. Rainer Salzgeber, head of racing at ski manufacturer Head, did not rule out a return to the World Cup. Vonn is supported by a serviceman who helps her work on her equipment. Nevertheless, there are critical voices from the ski world who express concerns. Bernhard Russi warned that it was dangerous to return to competition with a prosthesis, and Franz Klemm said she should consider whether this was the right way. The discussion about whether Vonn can still keep up with the best continues, it is reported Bluewin.ch.
