American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn continues her sensational comeback season with another podium finish, claiming bronze in Sunday’s World Cup super-G – her second straight third-place result in Val d’Isère. The 41-year-old charged down the iconic Oreiller-Killy piste to finish just 0.36 seconds behind winner Sofia Goggia of Italy, adding the 142nd World Cup podium of her extraordinary career.
Vonn, who secured bronze in Saturday’s downhill behind Austria’s Cornelia Huetter, showcased her enduring speed and precision despite challenging windy conditions that caused race interruptions. “I’m thrilled to be back on the podium here – Val d’Isère has always been special to me,” Vonn said after the race, highlighting her remarkable consistency in the 2025-26 season as she builds toward the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics.
Italy’s Sofia Goggia dominated the super-G, clocking 1:20.24 for her 27th career victory and first of the season. New Zealand’s Alice Robinson took silver (+0.15), fending off Vonn’s late charge for a high-quality podium featuring three former Olympic champions.00878c,16680f,9106e0
Vonn’s back-to-back bronzes extend her lead in the downhill standings and underline her status as a serious contender in speed events. After a historic win in St. Moritz earlier this month – making her the oldest World Cup winner ever – the American has now podiumed in multiple races this winter, proving her partial knee replacement and years away from the sport haven’t dimmed her competitive fire.
The women’s World Cup circuit now pauses for the holidays before resuming in January.
