Exceptional ski racer Lindsey Vonn wants to continue her second career as an athlete for a maximum of one more year. Then the Winter Olympics are coming up in Cortina d'Ampezzo on one of her favorite courses. "I would never do it beyond that," the 40-year-old US American told the AP news agency.

"That would be a great way to end things once and for all." Vonn last returned to the Alpine Ski World Cup after a break of almost six years.

Strong comeback
Despite a partial knee prosthesis, she impressed in her first races, finishing sixth in the downhill and fourth in the super-G in St. Anton. At the World Cup in Cortina this weekend, many believe she is capable of a podium finish. She crashed in the first training session on Thursday, but says she only suffered a few scratches and no serious injuries.

Since the 2010 Olympic champion and two-time world champion announced in the fall that she would be racing again, there has been speculation about a possible Olympic goal next winter. "I'm definitely thinking about it and I hope I can make it there," she now said.
