Lindsey Vonn Finishes 14th in 1st World Cup Race Since Ending Retirement at Age 40

Lindsey Vonn returned to World Cup skiing on Saturday for the first time in six years, finishing 14th in the super-G.

"This was the perfect start," she told reporters after the race. "Today is just the first step, and I'm not looking for more. Today I really needed to get to the finish. I wanted to have a solid result. And that's exactly what I did."

The 40-year-old, who had been retired, also plans to run the Super-G on Sunday.

"I didn't risk anything with the line," she said. "I was a little bit conservative in some sections, but overall I skied really well. Now I just need my top section to be a little faster and I'll be in really good shape."

Austria's Cornelia Huetter finished in first place, followed by Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami, and Italy's Sofia Goggia.
