ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn lost a chance to improve her ranking when the second race of her World Cup skiing comeback at age 40 was canceled on Sunday due to strong winds and poor visibility.
On Saturday, Vonn placed 14th in a super-G on the Corviglia course in St. Moritz to mark her return to the circuit after nearly six years of retirement.
Vonn lost time at the start of the race but then was competitive with the top-five finishers the rest of the way down.
“It took her 20 seconds to get back into it, and then she was fine,” said Chris Knight, Vonn’s personal coach.
