The 41-year-old Vonn returned to competition a little over a year ago after a break of more than five years, and has impressed this season with four podium finishes, including one victory in five races. She leads the World Cup downhill standings after three starts.
Her results this year mean she is already guaranteed a spot in the Olympic downhill race scheduled for February 8th in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Lindsey Vonn has already won twelve times in Cortina during her career, with six downhill wins and six super-G victories.
Vonn won the gold medal in downhill and a bronze in the Super-G at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 and added another bronze in the downhill at PyeongChang in 2018.
