Lindsey Vonn likely to push back retirement following winning start to Olympic season at age 41
Lindsey Vonn won the first downhill by 0.98 seconds and scored 230 World Cup points in three days, prompting her to delay retirement through the World Cup season and possibly the Olympics.
- On Friday, Lindsey Vonn dominated the opening speed weekend of the Olympic season at the Corviglia course, St. Moritz, winning the first downhill by a large margin as the oldest World Cup winner.
- Her improved equipment and added muscle helped explain the turnaround as Lindsey Vonn added 12 pounds and benefited from Aksel Lund Svindal, former Olympic downhill champion and member of her coaching staff.
- The results — including a win and top finishes — underscored Lindsey Vonn's consistency as she earned the weekend's most World Cup points with first, second and fourth across the three-day World Cup weekend.
- Vonn is now reconsidering her retirement timetable as she likely will continue through the World Cup season, and Chris Knight, head coach, said `We can start planning for the whole season`.
- Cortina d'Ampezzo figures prominently given Vonn's record there with 12 World Cup wins, raising Olympic stakes and recalling former champions who said she `should see a psychologist`.
