"I've heard St. Moritz is beautiful at this time of year. There's nothing I love more than skiing," said Vonn in a video.
Before that, the 2010 Olympic champion wants to compete this weekend at the World Cup in Beaver Creek in the US state of Colorado as a forerunner; she has already completed training runs in the downhill and super-G. "It feels so normal to be back in the starting gate," said the US-American.
Vonn races with an artificial knee joint
Vonn, who has been plagued by many injuries in her career, now skis with an artificial knee joint. Before her retirement in February 2019, the speed dominator had won 82 World Cups, Olympic gold in 2010 and two World Championship titles.
On her return from retirement, she recently finished 24th and 19th in the super-G races in Copper Mountain, below World Cup level. She had previously finished 24th and 27th in the downhill races.
