Lindsey Vonn reacts to US Ski team's performance at the Beaver Creek World Cup ahead of her return to major events in St.Moritz

After returning to the competitive circuit in the 2024-25 season, Lindsey Vonn expressed her admiration for the American women's skiing team. After navigating a series of injuries that forced her to hang up her skis, Vonn announced her return to the slopes on Thursday, November 14, 2024, ahead of the commencement of the 2024-25 Alpine Skiing World Cup season.

While she left the sport in 2019 after enduring a string of injuries, she made a comeback only after having undergone a right knee replacement in April of this year. Vonn recently participated as a forerunner at the season's first women's downhill on Beaver Creek's legendary Birds of Prey course on Saturday, December 14, 2024.

Following this development, she shared a picture of the American women's ski team, including Lauren Macuga, Haley Cutler, Isabella Wright, Olympian Keely Cashman, Breezy Johnson, and Jacqueline Wiles. Sharing the team picture, Vonn expressed her admiration and pride in the team and wrote:

"Proud of you ladies!! Love the energy you all bring to racing."

Her hand-recorded time of 1:34.1 at Beaver Creek showed that the 40-year-old would have been placed inside the top 20 skiers of the race. Vonn competed in two Super Giant races at Copper Mountain in Colorado, finishing 24th and 19th, respectively, out of 45 skiers, on December 7, 2024.
