Lindsey Vonn Next Sport Might Be Roping

By Ann Bleiker

Lindsey Vonn, one of the greatest female skiers of all-time, joins TODAY to talk about her comeback season at the World Cup Finals after five years away from the sport. Vonn opens up about how she felt her late mother with her during the win as well as how her age played in her favor against the other competitors. She also shares how she is setting her sights on a return to the Olympics and hopes to qualify for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Games. “I feel strong so I’m confident that I’ll be in a good spot and my goal is to not just make the team.”
