Lindsey Vonn's unlikely bid to get back to the top of skiing started Saturday, with two downhill races in Colorado she used as "training."
Lindsey Vonn, the legendary American skier, has announced her return to competitive skiing with the aim of competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy.
