3:15Now PlayingSkiing legend Lindsey Vonn is coming out of retirement to compete in the women’s downhill at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina—returning to one of the most iconic courses of her career at age 41.
The most decorated female downhill skier in history, Vonn retired in 2019 with 82 World Cup victories and three Olympic medals, saying injuries—not passion—ended her career. After successful knee surgery that left her pain-free for the first time in years, Vonn says the opportunity to race in Cortina, where she’s won more than a dozen World Cup events, was impossible to pass up. As she prepares for her Olympic return, Vonn says experience, resilience, and racing on her own terms are driving this final chapter.
