BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) — Lindsey Vonn now has a firm target for her return to World Cup ski racing at age 40: next weekend for a pair of super-G events in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
She has a goal, too, and it's not showing up at the starting gate simply to show up.
“You know me well enough to know that success is not just participating,” Vonn said at a news conference Friday night. “I know my way back to a competitive level might take a race or two, but I certainly intend on getting back to where I was before.”
Where she was before was on the podium. Her last major race was February 2019, when she took third in the downhill during the world championships in Sweden.
