Peers agree that ski queen's return at 40 is Vonn-derful

China Daily  

At 40, American ski queen Lindsey Vonn is making a comeback in a bid to compete at one more Olympics in 2026. Agencies When Lindsey Vonn decided to return to downhill ski racing this season at the age of 40, after nearly six years of retirement with a new titanium knee, the criticism from prominent retired skiers like Franz Klammer, Marc Girardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Bruno Kernen, Michaela Dorfmeister and Sonja Nef was so scathing that the underlying theme suggested the American had psychological issues. Take Marcel Hirscher, the eight-time overall champion who also made a comeback this season at age 35, albeit a stuttering one after injuring his left knee in December. Hirscher added that he was "close to crying" when he saw Vonn finish sixth and fourth on consecutive days in St Anton, Austria, last month in only the second and third races of her comeback.
