Vonn, 41, earns 1st WCup downhill win since 2018

Lindsey Vonn made a triumphant return to competitive skiing by winning her first World Cup downhill race since 2018 at the age of 41, becoming the oldest winner in the discipline's history. This victory, her 83rd overall, is particularly notable as it follows a five-year retirement due to knee injuries and a subsequent comeback in December 2024. Vonn finished the race in 1:29.63, leading by nearly a second over silver medalist Magdalena Egger.
