Lindsey Vonn makes feelings known as she reacts to Mikaela Shiffrin and Team USA's incredible World Cup final performance

Lindsey Vonn expressed her thoughts about Team USA's incredible performance at the Alpine Skiing World Cup finals as well as the entire 2024/25 season. She congratulated Mikaela Shiffrin for clinching her 101st World Cup title after a dominating performance on the slopes.

Vonn made a decision to come out of retirement and return to the professional skiing circuit nearly after six years in 2024. The American skier had undergone a partial knee replacement surgery and began her recovery in late 2024 with the aim of returning to the competitive circuit once again. However, upon her return, she faced several setbacks. Even after that, Vonn revealed that she is enjoying competing once again and hoped to improve as the season progressed.

After a lot of struggles, she registered her first podium-winning performance in the super-G at the Stifel Sun Valley World Cup and got emotional while recalling her journey.

She extended her support to fellow teammates as they competed in the Alpine Skiing World Cup finals and congratulated the entire team for an outstanding performance in the event as well as the entire season.

"Congrats Mikaela, Paula and the whole @usskiteam for an amazing year!! And an amazing WC finals @sunvalley," she wrote.
