PARK CITY, Utah — Lindsey Vonn is coming out of retirement to rejoin the U.S. Ski Team, she announced Thursday, intending to race again at age 40 — and six years after her last Olympics.
Her 82 World Cup race victories stood as the record for a woman until that total was eclipsed in January 2023 by American Mikaela Shiffrin, who is still active and is now up to 97 wins — more than any Alpine ski racer in the history of the sport. Vonn's last competition came in February 2019, after she dealt with a long series of injuries throughout her career.Just this April, years after leaving the World Cup circuit, she had surgery for a partial knee replacement.“Getting back to skiing without pain has been an incredible journey,” Vonn said, adding that she wants to"continue to share my knowledge of the sport with these incredible women” on the American team.
