Lindsey Vonn, 40, finishes 14th in first World Cup race in nearly six years Lindsey Vonn finished 14th position in a super-G on Saturday to mark her return to World Cup skiing at age 40.
Vonn left the tour with 82 World Cup wins – the record for a woman at the time and within reach of the then all-time Alpine mark of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark.
Shiffrin, who shares the record of five wins in St Moritz with Vonn, isn’t racing this weekend as she recovers from abdominal surgery to clean out a puncture wound she sustained in a crash last month.
The women’s record held by Vonn was eclipsed in January 2023 by American teammate Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has an outright record 99 wins.
Eight-time overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher also took advantage of the wild card rule and returned this season after five years away.
