Lindsey Vonn: Comeback in the ski circus-a new era begins!

St. Moritz, Schweiz - The return of the legendary skier Lindsey Vonn is a decision! After almost six years of break due to numerous injuries, the 40-year-old will start at the World Cup in St. Moritz next weekend. In a press conference in Colorado, Vonn confirmed that after a successful knee operation, which enables her to ski without pain, she dares to take this step. "I can't even say how big the difference is if you can ski without pain. This is a completely new world for me," said Vonn enthusiastically in the interview. This optimistic attitude is not only remarkable for Vonn itself, but also for the entire ski world that looks forward to your comeback ( Kleine Zeitung ).

Since returning to intensive training sessions, Vann has developed a new feeling of strength and passion for their sport. "I feel stronger than in my 20s," she revealed. Her former successes-82 World Cup victories and three Olympic medals-are still freshly remembered, and she has decided to continue to put her goals high: "I try not to put my goals too high, but to make it to Cortina, that would be my goal," she looked at the Winter Olympics 2026 in Milan and Cortina ( Barron’s ).

Vonn will compete and plan as a forerunner for the departure and the Super-G in Beaver Creek this weekend, then to fight for the front places in St. Moritz. Your return goes beyond the sports boundaries. It sets a sign of the possibility of successfully returning in sports even at older age. "I think Simone Biles is a perfect example of what is possible at a older age," said Vonn, with it inspires many who hold on to their dreams in the face of challenges. Vonn has revolutionized the ski world and is now in the process of rewriting its success story.
