‘A second chance’ – legend Vonn exceeds, breaks limits own comeback expectations

Lindsey Vonn’s Remarkable Comeback Defies Expectations
After retiring in 2019 due to severe knee injuries, Lindsey Vonn has astonished even herself with a remarkable return to ski racing. At 40, following a titanium knee replacement, she defied the odds by competing again in high-level World Cup events.

Her comeback has seen mixed results, including a 14th-place finish in her first race back and near-podium performances in Austria. However, a challenging weekend in Cortina, Italy—where she holds 12 career wins—tested her resolve. Despite setbacks, Vonn continues to embrace the thrill of competitive skiing.

Criticism from former racers has not deterred Vonn, who insists her return is a personal journey. After enduring years of pain and rehabilitation, she’s embracing a second chance at life and sport, proving her resilience both on and off the slopes.
