Lindsey Vonn feels like she has “nothing to prove” in her bid to return to the Olympics at the age of 41.
The American ski great with medals in multiple disciplines said Tuesday she’s not worried about tarnishing her legacy after coming out of retirement several years after she last competed.
“I don’t think anyone remembers Michael Jordan’s comeback,” Vonn said at the Team USA Olympic Media Summit ahead of the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. “I don’t think that tarnished his legacy at all. … I’ve already succeeded. I’ve already won.”
