Lindsey Vonn: Comeback in Copper Mountain – On the way to the World Cup!

Lindsey Vonn's return to the world of alpine skiing is causing a stir! After a nearly six-year break, the former speed dominatrix and Olympic gold medalist returned to competition in Copper Mountain, Colorado. On Saturday she started in two FIS sprint downhills, where she was awarded places 24 and 27. Although the times are not in favor of thanking Vonn, she is not discouraged. “That was training for me,” the 40-year-old emphasized in a social media post, “and the way I ski is currently more important than the times.” When asked whether she wants to compete in the World Cup, she is still keeping a low profile after a wildcard for the races in St. Moritz was recently requested laola1.at reported.

Strong performances in the Super-G

But the comeback wasn't over yet: Vonn followed on Sunday with the Super-G races, where she showed impressive performances with places 19 and 24. She was just over two seconds behind the winner Lauren Macuga. The Austrian ski women did not compete in the Super-G on Sunday, which underlined the competition for Vonn. Her results during this race weekend show that she is back on the right track despite the long break from competition. “This is just the beginning,” Vonn continued optimistically. The pressure on the athlete is high, but she has made it clear that she is ready for the next stage of her career, ignoring even the annoying speculation about her form krone.at reported.
