Three-time Olympic medalist Lindsey Vonn provided some insight into her final goal as she returns to alpine skiing.

Vonn confirmed on Saturday that she's targeting a trip to the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will occur in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

"I've tried to keep everything in perspective and not set goals too high," Vonn said after forerunning the Stifel Birds of Prey World Cup races at Beaver Creek, Colorado. "But ultimately, if I can make it to Cortina, that would be my goal."
