Lindsey Vonn reflects on her first season after returning from retirement
Lindsey Vonn returned to the sport in December 2024 after retiring in 2019, due to injuries. In her interview with CNN on May 6, 2025, the elite competitive alpine ski racer reflected on her first season after retirement.
“I’ve never had so many different variables in one season, and I felt like every weekend it was something new, some new challenge was just being thrown at me. And sometimes, I felt like I was beat down and it was hard to find the motivation because I was doing this because I love ski racing, but at times this season, it felt like it was insurmountable.”
She became the oldest woman in history to clinch a silver medal in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in the Super-G race event.
