WATCH: Lindsey Vonn practices in Solden ahead of reported comeback appearance at Austrian skiing venue

American retired Winter Olympian Lindsey Vonn shared glimpses of her early morning training ahead of her rumored comeback to alpine skiing at the World Cup opener in Sölden, Austria. If the reports are to be believed, then the former Olympic champion will be back on the slopes after nearly 5.7 years.

With over 15 years of excellence, Vonn has established herself as one of the greatest skiers of all time. She boasts an impressive three Olympic medals: one gold and two silver. The 40-year-old has also garnered an impressive eight World Championship medals, including two gold, three silver, and three bronze. In addition, the American previously held a world record for the most World Cup wins with a total of 82 victories, a record later surpassed by her compatriot Mikaela Shiffrin.

Following an incredible career, Vonn retired from the sport in 2019 after securing a bronze medal at the World Championships in Åre, Sweden. However, in a recent update, Cision News shared a press release where they revealed that Lindsey Vonn is among the list of competitors gearing up to participate in the World Cup Opening event in Sölden on Friday, October 25.

Adding to her comeback speculations, the 40-year-old also shared an early morning training routine on her Instagram handle from Solden.

"Early mornings in Sölden… nothing makes me happier," she wrote in the caption.
