St. Moritz is a special place for Vonn. In 2012, she won her 17th World Cup race there, making it a memorable location in her career. Now, after several years away from competition, she is excited to return—not for the pressure of racing professionally, but to reconnect with her love for skiing.
A Surprise Comeback
Vonn retired in 2019 after an incredible career, which included 82 World Cup wins, four overall titles, and an Olympic gold medal. She stepped away from the sport due to injuries and a desire to focus on other parts of her life. However, her love for skiing has never gone away.
In a recent statement, Vonn said, “St. Moritz has always been one of my favorite places. I’m looking forward to being back on the slopes, but this time, it’s for the love of skiing, not competition.”
Why St. Moritz?
St. Moritz has a lot of meaning for Lindsey Vonn. Over the years, it’s been a place of both victories and challenges.
For her, returning to this iconic resort is a way to reconnect with skiing in a more relaxed way. It’s about enjoying the sport again without the pressures of racing at the highest level.
Her return will also inspire younger skiers, showing them that even after setbacks, it’s possible to come back and enjoy the sport in a new way.
