St. MORITZ, Switzerland - Lindsey Vonn's return to the World Cup skiing circuit at the age of 40 faced a setback as the second race of her comeback was canceled due to strong winds and poor visibility. Vonn, a former champion, finished 14th in the super-G race on the Corviglia course in St. Moritz on Saturday, marking her first competitive appearance in nearly six years.
Despite a slow start in the race, Vonn showed competitiveness with the top-five finishers for the remainder of the course. Her personal coach mentioned that it took her about 20 seconds to find her rhythm before performing well. Vonn had to use a wild card for former champions to start at No. 31, placing her at a disadvantage compared to the top-ranked skiers who start earlier on smoother courses.
