Lindsey Vonn says she is coming out of retirement to rejoin the U.S. Ski Team in an attempt to race again at age 40.

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

Lindsey Vonn has announced a miraculous — and surprising — return to the slopes. Nearly six years after the Olympic gold medalist announced her retirement from skiing, Vonn, 40, has plotted an unexpected comeback.
