Few believed a 41-year-old athlete could compete at the highest level again. Yet within weeks, Vonn proved the doubters wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Her return to the <b>World Cup circuit<\/b> in late 2024 was immediately impressive. By the time the <b>2025-26 season<\/b> opened in December, Vonn had already secured her spot on Team USA through consistent podium finishes. She recorded <b>four podiums in her first four races<\/b>, including a stunning <b>downhill victory at St. Moritz<\/b> on December 12, making her the oldest woman ever to win a World Cup race.<\/p>\n<h2>Podium Performances and Record-Breaking Achievements<\/h2>\n<p><b>Lindsey Vonn<\/b> captured her <b>83rd career World Cup victory<\/b> at St. Moritz, continuing her legacy as one of the sport&#8217;s all-time greats. The win came nearly seven years after her previous World Cup victory in March 2018, when she was 33 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Following the St. Moritz triumph, Vonn recorded <b>three consecutive podium finishes<\/b>, including third-place showings in both the downhill and super-G at Val d&#8217;Is\u00e8re on December 20-21, 2025. These performances accumulated her <b>141st career World Cup podium<\/b>, a stunning achievement for an athlete returning from a five-year retirement. The consistency demonstrated that her St. Moritz victory was no fluke.<\/p>\n<p>Vonn&#8217;s remarkable form heading into <b>Milano Cortina 2026<\/b> has positioned her as a legitimate medal contender in the downhill and super-G events at the Olympics.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Watch for at Milano Cortina 2026<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Category<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Event Dates<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>February 6-22, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Location<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Milan and Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo, Italy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Vonn&#8217;s Events<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Downhill and Super-G (Alpine Skiing)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>2024-25 Season Record<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>1 World Cup Win, 3 Podiums in 4 Races<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>International Reaction and NBC&#8217;s Coverage Plans<\/h2>\n<p><b>NBC Sports<\/b> has announced that <b>Lindsey Vonn&#8217;s<\/b> races at <b>Milano Cortina 2026<\/b> will receive prime-time coverage, recognizing her comeback as a potential ratings draw for the Winter Olympics.
