SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Lindsey Vonn finished 15th in the downhill at the Alpine skiing world championships on Saturday, 1.96 seconds behind American teammate Breezy Johnson who took the gold medal. The 40-year-old Vonn recently returned to competition with a new titanium knee after nearly six years of retirement.

Lindsey Vonn’s sensational return to the Alpine World Ski Championships ended in disappointment on Thursday after the 40-year-old crashed out of the super-G event.

She helped Salt Lake City secure hosting rights for the 2034 Winter Olympics and designed her own skiwear and goggles lines.

Breezy Johnson found redemption, Lauren Macuga continued her ascension and Lindsey Vonn left satisfied after Saturday’s world championship downhill in Saalbach, Austria. Johnson — who returned to competition two months ago after a 14-month ban

Lindsey Vonn’s skiing comeback at the age of 40 means she can’t go to the Super Bowl, an event on her schedule when she was retired for the last five years.

Lindsey Vonn did not finish her Thursday Super-G run at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Austria after getting her arm hooked on a gate. It was Vonn's first world championship run since 2019. Vonn was in the midst of her run when she cut a turn too tightly and caught her right arm on a gate.

Lindsey Vonn has completed pre-race inspection and is planning on competing in the super-G at the Alpine skiing world championships despite feeling sick with “a cold or the flu.”
