Will ski queen Lindsey Vonn make a comeback? The almost 40-year-old American retired in 2019 after 82 individual World Cup victories due to knee problems. She later had an artificial knee joint inserted. And now she’s training again.
Sepp Brunner, head speed coach for the Austrians, observed Vonn on the Rettenbach-Fener glacier. She “trained sliding curves in a very ambitious manner,” the “Blick” quoted him as saying.

The reason: She wants to start in Beaver Creek in December as the forerunner. This is just supposed to be a test. And if this is positive, the ski queen wants to compete in races again.
Outfitter Head is said to be on board with the comeback plans: He provided American Chris Knause with him. The serviceman has already worked for Didier Cuche and Bode Miller and celebrated successes with them.
Do you think Lindsey Vonn will make her comeback?
The rumors are further fueled by a shoot in New Zealand. Lindsey Vonn was spotted there with her former trainer Chris Knight. She also recently posted several videos of her hard training and a compilation of several shots on skis.
But is it even possible to ski race with an artificial knee joint? When he heard the rumors, he couldn’t imagine it, says Felix Neureuther. But now he believes that if anyone can achieve the seemingly impossible, it is the “one and only Lindsey Vonn”.
