He ended his career, or rather postponed it, after the 2019 season. – My body prevents me from doing what I want. “I can't ski as much as I want anymore,” said a skier from Minnesota after one of his final starts.
For several years, he “used” his body to its limits. He underwent several operations, the last in April, when doctors implanted a titanium plate in his knee. He recently appeared at the World Cup competition in Sölden. He took part in a meeting organized by his long-time sponsors – Head and Red Bull. Information about a possible return began to appear more and more frequently.
When will Lindsey Vonn resume her career?
Vonn will attend the US national team's next training camp. – I wouldn't have done it if I didn't hope to take part in the competition – said the American to the New York Times. – I have a dream. I like to drive fast. My goal is to have fun and I hope that will take me to the World Cup. “Otherwise, I won't return to the American team,” he added.
The skier's likely return date to competition is December 14-15. Then, in the American section of the season, there will be competitions at Beaver Creak – downhill and super-G. Vonn can count on a “wild card” like Marcel Hirscher.
