Lindsey Vonn, a decorated Alpine ski racer, has announced her return to competitive skiing at the age of 40. Vonn, a three-time Olympic medalist, is making a comeback six years after her last appearance at the Olympics. Her illustrious career includes a downhill gold and super-G bronze at the 2010 Vancouver Games, as well as a bronze in the downhill at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. Vonn is also a four-time overall World Cup champion and has won eight world championships medals.

With 82 World Cup race victories, Vonn held the record for the most wins by a woman until January 2023 when American skier Mikaela Shiffrin surpassed her total and currently stands at 97 wins, the most in the history of Alpine skiing.
