Lindsey Vonn finished second in Sun Valley, one of her favorite disciplines–the Super G. I was a big fan of Lindsey Vonn during her competitive years and was quite shocked to see her make a podium today, at the age of 40, after roughly 7 years without medals and a five-year hiatus.
I’ve always admired athletes who don’t give up when they accumulate wealth and injuries. Ronnie O’Sullivan is 49 and won several world championships after his partial retirement. Noriaki Kasai kept jumping until around 51. I hope Vonn makes a win next season to teach us all a lesson.
