FLACHAU, Austria (AP) — With Lindsey Vonn‘s return to the World Cup this week, Mikaela Shiffrin is looking forward to leaving the limelight to her American teammate.
Nursing a knee injury and a broken arm for the past 11 months, Vonn will take part in official downhill training in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria, on Thursday and Friday, and a downhill race Saturday, according to the U.S. Ski Team.
Vonn earned two of her record 76 victories at the Austrian resort a year ago.
Shiffrin can’t wait for the four-time overall champion to return to the start gates.
