Lindsey Vonn celebrates comeback with 40 and artificial knee in St. Moritz!
The ski superstar Lindsey Vonn is about to be sensational return to the ski slopes! At the age of 40, the 82-fold World Cup winner will start the World Cup in St. Moritz next week after returning almost six years after her last important race, which she completed in Sweden in February 2019. Despite an artificial knee joint and consciousness for the risks, the American ski icon is looking forward to your comeback. She explained that "life is really short" and therefore would like to enjoy skiing again, as she emphasized in an interview with the Associated Press. In addition, she will act as a forerunner at the Speed race in Beaver Creek to test the slopes early next week.
Vonn will explore the demanding Birds of Prey route in Colorado, and the program is both departure and Super-G. Before it gets serious on Saturday and Sunday, she already has the task of testing the other drivers from Wednesday to Friday. As the "Krone" reported, Vonn took part in less significant departures in Copper Mountain last weekend to collect points and qualify for the World Cup events. However, her return to a World Cup event in Beaver Creek was not possible, although she experienced positive progress and feels strengthened by a partial replacement operation of the knee in April.
A competition with record ambitions
With 82 World Cup victories, Vonn was once the record holder for women before she was exceeded by Mikaela Shiffrin in January 2023, who has now had 99 victories. While Vonn is preparing for her resource, Shiffrin fights against the consequences of an accident that brought her muscle injuries and a belly injury, but does not let her take part in the upcoming races in Beaver Creek. This situation increases the pressure on Vonn, which is in the spotlight and inspires the fans with their comeback, while at the same time she wants to rewrite a piece of history in skiing, how ABC News reported.
