Lindsey Vonn, one of the greatest skiers of all-time, is set to end her five-year retirement and return to the sport.
Lindsey Vonn, one of the greatest skiers of all-time, is set to end her five-year retirement and return to the sport. After 18 years on the World Cup circuit, three Winter Olympic medals, eight world championship medals and 82 World Cup race wins, Vonn decided to step away from skiing in 2019, saying her body was “broken beyond repair.” However, after undergoing successful knee surgery earlier this year, the 40-year-old is about to rejoin the US Ski Team in Colorado. “Getting back to skiing without pain has been an incredible journey,” Vonn said in a US Ski & Snowboard statement on Thursday. “I am looking forward to being back with the Stifel US Ski Team and to continue to share my knowledge of the sport with these incredible women.” Vonn had bounced back from serious injury multiple times during her career, but a knee problem forced her to step away from the sport five years ago.
