Lindsey Vonn Ends Comeback Season with First Podium Finish in Seven Years

At 40, Vonn achieved a second-place finish in the World Cup super-G finals in Sun Valley, overcoming challenges as she prepares for the 2026 Olympics.

Lindsey Vonn, one of skiing's greatest athletes, returned to competition this season after a six-year retirement and a partial knee replacement.
She concluded her comeback season with a second-place finish in the super-G at the World Cup finals in Sun Valley, her first podium since 2018.
The downhill race at the finals was canceled due to adverse weather, marking a bittersweet end to her final competitive event on U.S. soil.
Vonn's comeback season served as a test run to adjust equipment and regain form, with her sights set on competing in the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.
The Sun Valley finals held special significance for Vonn, as it is the hometown of her childhood idol, Picabo Street, who inspired her career.
