For her big return to competition after almost six years of absence, Lindsey Vonn, who left with bib 31 thanks to the wild card granted by the FIS to returnees with big CVs (big or small globe, Olympic or world title), took 14th place (+1”48). The American (40 years old) did not have a good start, but then showed that she was already very competitive, and celebrated her first World Cup race since 2019 with a big smile on her face, in being acclaimed by the Swiss public whom she generously greeted.
