ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn's second World Cup race back Sunday after nearly six years of retirement was canceled due to strong winds and poor visibility. The news came as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly awaiting her return to the slopes. Vonn, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest skiers of all time, had been looking forward to making a splash in her second race back after a long hiatus.
The cancellation of the race in St. Moritz, Switzerland, was announced early Sunday morning, citing safety concerns due to the harsh weather conditions. The strong winds and low visibility made it impossible for the skiers to navigate the challenging course, and organizers were forced to pull the plug on the event.
Vonn, who has won a record 82 World Cup races throughout her illustrious career, had been training hard in the lead-up to her comeback. She had been looking to make a statement in her second race back, and the cancellation of the event was a setback for the American skier. Despite the disappointment, Vonn remains focused on her goals and is looking forward to her next opportunity to compete.
The weather conditions in St. Moritz were deemed too hazardous for the skiers, with gusty winds and heavy snowfall reducing visibility to just a few meters. The course, which is known for its challenging terrain and technical difficulty, was deemed unsuitable for racing in such conditions.
The cancellation of the race is a blow to the World Cup circuit, which has been thrilling fans with its exciting competitions all season. The event in St. Moritz was highly anticipated, with many of the world's top skiers scheduled to compete. The organizers will now have to regroup and reassess their plans for the remainder of the season.
For Vonn, the cancellation of the race is a minor setback in what promises to be an exciting comeback story. The American skier has been working tirelessly to regain her form and fitness after a long layoff, and she is determined to make an impact on the World Cup circuit once again. With her incredible talent and unwavering dedication, Vonn is sure to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of skiing for years to come.
