Sofia Goggia is leading a World Cup downhill on the course that will host women’s skiing at next year’s Milan-Cortina Olympics, while Lindsey Vonn was in 20th

Lindsey Vonn, the legendary American alpine skier, had a minor fall during training before the World Cup competition in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Fortunately, nothing serious occurred, and the American skier will participate in the event.

Lindsey Vonn took it easier in downhill training a day after crashing for the first time of her World Cup comeback at age 40

Vonn won a record 43 downhills in her 82-win World Cup career. Her previous World Cup downhill had been in January 2019, placing ninth at Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

Vonn exited retirement and began to race competitively earlier this winter for the first time in almost six years. Before 2024, she last raced in 2019, placing third in the World Championships. Despite naysayers —Vonn returned to racing at 40 and with a partially replaced knee containing titanium—she’s proven to herself and fans that she still has competitive potential.

Lindsey Vonn fell toward the end of a World Cup downhill training run on Thursday and appeared slightly banged up.
