Lindsey Vonn is celebrating a comeback: The ski queen is attacking again!
The tension in the ski circus is rising because former ski queen Lindsey Vonn has made her thunderous comeback! This weekend, December 7th and 8th, 2024, the FIS Fall Festival took place at Copper Mountain Resort, where the 40-year-old made a radiant return to the slopes after announcing her retirement in 2019. Vonn, who had previously battled a series of injuries, knew she had to take on the challenge, joining the ranks of other legendary athletes making a comeback. She finished in a remarkable 24th place in her first competition in almost six years, just 1.44 seconds behind the leading riders today.at reported.
But the big highlight of the event was the victory of Mirjam Puchner from Austria. She impressed the audience and prevailed against her competitors, while Stephanie Venier, Magdalena Egger, Christina Ager and Conny Hütter also achieved notable places in the top field. With an impressive team spirit, the ÖSV women show that they are ready to shine on the international stage. Puchner explained: “It was a great race for me and the whole team!” Meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn is using this event as training to improve her FIS ranking and secure a spot for the World Cup in St. Moritz on December 21st, as summitdaily.com reports.
Competition preparations and further plans
Preparations for the upcoming Speed Weekend in Beaver Creek, which takes place from December 11th to 15th, are already in full swing. Vonn made it clear that she was looking forward to the upcoming descents: “It’s just training for me,” but the excitement of the competition was still palpable. Apart from her 24th place, which is quite respectable for a returnee, she will compete in the downhill on Saturday and demonstrate her skills once again in the Super-G on Sunday. The ski world is looking forward to her return as she once again leaves her mark on the snow and hunts for points to overtake the competition she left behind.
