After nearly six years, Lindsey Vonn, the three-time Olympic medalist and former World Cup record holder, is set to return to official ski racing at the age of 40. Vonn, who announced her retirement last month, will compete in lower-level FIS downhill and super-G races this weekend in Copper Mountain, Colorado.
Vonn's decision to come out of retirement is driven by the need to improve her ranking to qualify for World Cup races under a new wild card rule. Despite a history of injuries, including broken bones, torn ligaments, and concussions, Vonn has been training diligently and showing promising results during her preparation at Copper Mountain.
