Lindsey Vonn lives her second youth after five years out of high competition
The American skier, who was a star in the last decade, has shone again as he is the oldest to win an Alpine World Cup test.
At the ageof 41. With a titanium knee. And in the second season after his return to the competition, after five years out of the high competition. The American Lindsey Vonn, star of the previous decade, has again shone as the most veteran to win a World Cup Alpine ski test, in the first descent of the season, in St. Moritz.
He's also ranked second in the second drop of the season and fourth in the supergiant of that Swiss station.
Lindsey was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and retired in 2019. She got a great palmaris: a gold medal at the Olympic Games, two gold at world championships, eleven medals at major competitions and four World Cups, with 82 partial wins.
So a lot of them were blown away when he competed again last season, where, after signing a surprising fourth place in Sankt Anton's World Cup supergiant, he ranked fifteenth in the Saalbach World Cup descent and closed it with a big blow when he finished second in the super giant of the regularity contest played in his country in Sun Valley.
This season he has shown himself to be one of the greatest athletes in history, with a feat that will leave its mark on the Alpine ski scene.
After making his best counterclockwork on Wednesday in the first training, on Friday he won his 83rd World Cup victory in St. Moritz.
For now, in a season that will reach its peak at the Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Olympics (Italy) in two months, Lindsey leads the World Cup with 180 points, 35 more than Aicher.
