Lindsey Vonn registered a DNF at a World Cup downhill event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany as she continues her quest to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics following a nearly six-year retirement.

Per Zack Pierce of The Athletic, Vonn "was kicked out of position around a turn and skied out with seven gates to go."

The 40-year-old Vonn has won 82 times on the World Cup tour with four overall titles from 2008-2010 and then again in 2012. Of note, forty-three of her wins occurred in the downhill event, while 28 derived from the Super-G.
