Vonn, a three-time Olympic Gold medalist, surprised everyone by returning to competitive skiing in late 2024, five years after retirement. The American Ski legend had decided to step away from skiing in 2019, claiming her body was "broken beyond repair" after a series of knee injuries in the latter part of her career.

During the 18 years of her career before retirement, Vonn won three Winter Olympic medals, eight World Championship medals, and 82 World Cup races. However, she hasn't found her rhythm yet since coming back with a best-place finish of fourth in a Super-G race.
