Lindsey Vonn makes her much-anticipated season debut this weekend in Austria after sitting out the start of the season with a knee injury. The three-time Olympic medalist and most decorated woman on the World Cup circuit has said this will be her final full competitive season, though she hopes to race at her favorite tour stop, Lake Louise, in December. Vonn, 34, is still eyeing a major milestone: she’s four victories shy of tying the all-time World Cup wins record of 86, set by legendary Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark.
Also headlining this week’s alpine action is two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrrin, who will try to extend her slalom streak on Tuesday.
