'This comeback was unexpected' - Vonn hopes her return to top-tier skiing inspires others
American Lindsey Vonn became the oldest skiing downhill World Cup winner at St Moritz in Switzerland on Friday.
The 41-year-old retired from the sport in February 2019 due to knee problems but made her competitive return in December 2024.
Vonn has won one gold and two bronze at the Winter Olympics and is on track to represent the USA at the 2026 Games in February.
She crossed the line in one minute and 29.63 seconds - nearly a second quicker than second-placed Magdelena Egger - to wrap up her 83rd World Cup win and first since 2018.
