"I'm in good spirits"
Lindsey Vonn’s sensational comeback is getting closer
Lindsey Vonn's sensational comeback is actually taking shape and getting closer. This is confirmed by Rainer Salzgeber, race director of the Vorarlberg-based ski manufacturer Head.
The ski company has provided the US American with a service man with whom she can fine-tune her equipment, said the ex-racer at a media event in Sölden on Thursday.
"I'm almost convinced that it's going in this direction"
"We are supporting her with a service man to help her do the daily program and see where it goes," Salzgeber said in the ORF interview. "She will probably tell us what her decision is in the next few weeks, but we are confident that she is also on the verge of a comeback. I'm almost convinced that it's going in that direction."
He is hoping for Vonn, said Salzgeber, "because otherwise everyone is only talking about Holland anyway, which is a bit weird in skiing".
Salzgeber was alluding to Marcel Hirscher's return to the World Cup thanks to a wild card. The eight-time overall World Cup winner will be competing for his mother's home country, the Netherlands. Whether he will be there in Sölden on Sunday (10.00 am and 1.00 pm/live in the sportkrone.at ticker) will be clarified on Friday.
The 40-year-old Vonn gave no indication of an imminent comeback in a recent post on Platform X on Thursday.
"I can't wait to see Mikaela Shiffrin and the US ski team this weekend. I wish I could be there in person. I also hope to see Marcel Hirscher," she wrote.
