Ski star Lindsey Vonn: At the age of 41, she achieved her best training time

After numerous serious injuries she was a partial prosthesis in the right knee used.

And yet Lindsey Vonn is fighting for victory again after her five-year break in the speed competitions. Already at the World Cup finals in Sun Valley (USA). Winner of 82 World Cup races shown with rank 2.

Now she was driving Grande Dame of Skisports in the first training session for the first descent of the season St.Moritz (Friday) in everyone’s ears.

Vonn distanced second-placed Norwegian Kajsa Vickhoff-Lie by 59 hundredths of a second. Sofia Goggia (ITA) came in third place.

Big plans

The four-time overall World Cup winner and her new coach and advisor Aksel Lund Svindal have a big mission this winter: gold at the Winter Olympics in Cortina.

12 Siege in Cortina

The Tofana in Cortina is one of Lindsey Vonn’s favorite slopes. The American has already achieved 12 World Cup victories in the Olympic venue over the course of her successful career.

By the way, the best Austrian woman was in the first training run Mirjam Puchner as seventh.
