The next Winter Olympics are in Italy in February 2026, and while it’s not clear if Vonn plans to participate, the women’s Alpine skiing events will be held on a course where she holds a record 12 victories.

Lindsey Vonn has revealed she is coming out of retirement. In an interview with The New York Times, Vonn stated she will rejoin the United States Ski Team and plans to race again at 40 years old. Vonn hasn't competed in the Winter Olympics since the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games.

Vonn, 40, is one of the most decorated female skiers in history. She's a three-time Olympic gold medalist and her 82 World Cup victories were the most ever by a woman until Mikaela Shiffrin surpassed her in 2023. Vonn competed in the Olympics from 2002-2018, only missing the 2014 Games due to injury.
