Lindsey Vonn, the most decorated female downhill skier, is making a comeback at age 40 after retiring in 2019 due to injuries. Despite being older than her competitors, she feels stronger than ever following extensive training and recovery. Vonn experienced a challenging transition to retirement, using therapy to redefine her identity beyond skiing. During her break, she explored extreme water sports and wrote a memoir about her journey. Now, she embraces a fresh outlook and is ready to compete again, proving that age is just a number in sports.
"I can do so much more than I could in the last few years of my career, I can lift heavier, and I can jump higher."
"Retirement didn't come easy. It was hard to accept that something I loved to do so much was no longer there."
