Lindsey Vonn returned to World Cup ski racing in the 2024-25 season after knee replacement surgery, following six years of retirement. In 2025-26, she won her first World Cup after the comeback in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and added more podiums and victories until a crash at Cortina d’Ampezzo during the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games ended her campaign with a severe compound fracture. During 2025-26, she reached 416 career World Cup appearances, surpassing Renate Götschl’s 409 and becoming the most experienced female athlete in World Cup alpine skiing history. Götschl’s record had stood for 17 years. Vonn previously erased other Götschl benchmarks, including venue victories and Super-G wins and podiums, and she finished 2025-26 with 28 Super-G victories and 49 Super-G podiums.
