Lindsey Vonn marked an impressive return to World Cup downhill racing by finishing sixth in her first race in six years, clocking high speeds and competing closely with the leaders.
After crossing the finish line and checking her time, Vonn initially celebrated what she thought was a fifth-place finish, but was later pushed to sixth by newcomer Malorie Blanc, showcasing the tough competition in women's skiing.
Vonn's comeback followed a titanium knee replacement surgery, which makes her performance even more remarkable, considering that it had been over four years since her last World Cup downhill race.
With a history of 43 downhill wins in her 82 World Cup races, Vonn's return was not only a personal achievement but also a testament to her resilience in the sport.
