As Lindsey Vonn faces an grueling rehabilitation, her father, Alan Kildow, has publicly signaled that the legendary skier’s racing days are over. In a telephone interview with the Associated Press on February 10, Kildow was definitive regarding his daughter’s future: “She’s 41 years old and this is the end of her career. There will be no more ski races for Lindsey Vonn, as long as I have anything to say about it”.
Kildow, who has remained by Vonn’s side in Treviso along with her siblings, noted that while she is “emotionally strong,” the physical reality of the complex fracture and her extensive injury history makes a return to professional speed racing nearly impossible. While Vonn has yet to use the word “retirement” herself, most insiders agree that the 2026 Milano Cortina Games represent the final chapter for the most decorated female downhill skier in history.
