Lindsey Vonn's second World Cup race canceled due to weather
- Lindsey Vonn placed 14th in a super-G race in St. Moritz on Saturday, marking her return to skiing competition.
- Weather conditions on Sunday forced the cancellation of her second World Cup race.
- Vonn's next opportunity to race will be in St. Anton in January, where she aims to improve her rankings.
In St. Moritz, Switzerland, Lindsey Vonn faced a setback in her skiing comeback at the age of 40 when her second World Cup race was canceled due to severe weather, specifically strong winds and poor visibility. This race was crucial for Vonn, who was attempting to improve her ranking after nearly six years of retirement. The previous day, Vonn finished 14th in a super-G event on the Corviglia course, a notable performance that marked her return to competitive skiing after a long hiatus. Vonn’s coach, Chris Knight, noted that she struggled at the start of the race but was competitive with the leaders afterward, indicating her potential to progress quickly as she finds her rhythm. The cancellation meant that she would not compete again until the speed weekend scheduled in St. Anton, Austria, on January 11-12. These upcoming races will feature both downhill and super-G events, continuing her preparation as she aims for the world championships in Saalbach, Austria, in February. Meanwhile, Vonn will return to Miami to spend the holidays before heading back to Europe for further training and competition preparation.
