Lindsey Vonn celebrates her second-place win in the super-G at the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, Idaho on March 23. Vonn earned her first podium finish since returning at the age of 40.

American Vonn retired in February 2019. After successful knee surgery in April 2024, she competed in December at the FIS Fall Festival in Copper Mountain, Colorado. Vonn's return goal is to make her fifth Olympic team in 2026. She expects to retire permanently the following year.

Vonn made her World Cup debut at the age of 16 in 2000. She went on to win 20 World Cup titles, including four overall Crystal Globes, eight World Championship medals, 137 World Cup podiums, and 82 World Cup victories.
