Lindsey Vonn named to US alpine skiing World Cup squad
Summary

Lindsey Vonn has been included in the United States ski federation's 17-member team for the upcoming alpine skiing World Cup. Her inclusion is unexpected, given her serious injury suffered during the 2026 Winter Olympics, where she sustained a complex tibia fracture. Vonn is scheduled for another surgery in November to remove metal implants from her leg and replace her cruciate ligament. Recovery is expected to take around six months, making her participation in the current season uncertain, even though she aimed to return to competitive skiing following her prior retirement.
