Four months after coming out of retirement, Vonn is back on the podium. Her silver in the super-G at the World Cup finals was her first time on the World Cup podium since March 2018, and puts an emphatic exclamation mark on what was already an unprecedented season.

American Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn was back on the podium over the weekend with an historic second-place finish in a World Cup race.

After injuries forced her to retire midway through the 2019 season, Vonn made her return to World Cup competition following partial knee replacement surgery a year ago in an effort to try and end her career on her own terms at the 2026 Olympics in Northern Italy.
