The record-setting skier once notched speeds that would be illegal on most U.S. highways — until knee injuries slowed her down and she retired in 2019. Now Vonn says she's ready to return to racing.

Injuries led to Vonn’s retirement in 2019, but she underwent partial knee surgery in April and has since returned to training.

Thanks to knee replacement surgery, 4-time World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn is pain-free and rejoining U.S. Ski Team with an eye on 2026 Olympics.
