Lindsey Vonn reflects on the significance of her comeback in her decorated career
Lindsey Vonn announced her return to the sport in November 2024 and started competing in December. She claimed 14th in St. Moritz in the Super G event, a sixth-place finish in St. Anton, and fourth in the Super G.
During her interview with CNN in May 2025, she reflected on the significance of her latest feat and competing in the sport at 40.
“I think that it changes everything. I think there are a lot of people that thought that I would never be back and I would never be successful again – and I think that I proved to myself, and to them, that I still deserve to be here, no matter if I will be 41 at the next Olympics," she shared.
She continued,
“I cried. I think that (podium) was the hardest I’ve ever cried after a race because it just was so emotional and it meant so much to me – and, actually, I’m going to put it next to my Olympic medal because that’s how much it means to me."
In March 2025, she secured another significant milestone by clinching the silver medal in the 2025 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Super G event, becoming the oldest woman to do so.
