Lindsey Vonn says she has 'nothing to prove' as she prepares to return to the Olympics

Lindsey Vonn feels like she has “nothing to prove” in her bid to return to the Olympics at the age of 41, more than two decades since her first. “I don't think anyone remembers Michael Jordan’s comeback,” Vonn said at the Team USA Olympic Media Summit ahead of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games. A partial knee replacement in the spring of 2024 paved the way for her return to racing with Vonn setting her sights on skiing in one of her favorite places in Cortina, where she got on the podium at a World Cup event for the first time and broke the Women's World Cup wins record.
