Lindsey Vonn continues her incredible comeback story, storming to the top of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Women’s Downhill standings after four races this season. The 41-year-old American icon, fresh off her 84th career World Cup victory in Zauchensee, Austria, holds a commanding 340 points — putting her 129 points ahead of Germany’s rising star Emma Aicher (211 points) and 173 points clear of Italy’s Laura Pirovano (167 points, based on recent updates).
Vonn has been unstoppable on the speed circuit, claiming the podium in all four downhill events so far, including two wins. Her latest triumph came on a shortened course in Zauchensee, where she clocked blistering speeds and extended her lead despite challenging snowy conditions. This dominant run solidifies her status as the clear favorite for downhill gold at the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, less than a month away.
The veteran skier’s consistency and experience have left the competition playing catch-up, with Vonn eyeing the crystal globe and potentially more history-making moments in her final Olympic season.
Who’s going to close the gap? The speed season heats up — stay tuned!
