Lindsey Vonn is trying to end her career on her own terms. After retiring due to a knee injury, Vonn announced her return to skiing, with the hopes of making one more Olympic run. She inched closer to a storybook ending Sunday, medaling in her first event since 2018, and breaking a record in the process.
Vonn took home the silver medal in the super giant slalom, or super-G, event at the World Cup Finals on Sunday. It marked the first time Vonn medaled since her return to the sport.
After a strong run, Vonn knew she had a shot at medaling, throwing her hands up in the air as the crowd in Idaho gave her a huge ovation.
