Lindsey Vonn reveals extreme five-hour training days ahead of her powerful 2026 Winter Olympics comeback

Lindsey Vonn is making a serious comeback. The 41-year-old skiing legend told TMZ Sports at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City on November 1, 2025, that she’s been doing “intense” training six days a week as she prepares for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina, Italy.

This will be her first Olympics since retiring in 2019, and she says this run will be her “last go-around.” Vonn spends nearly five hours each day on strength, balance, and recovery sessions to get back into racing shape.

Lindsey Vonn said her workouts have been “harder than ever” as she pushes toward her return to professional skiing. Speaking to TMZ Sports, she said, “I’m excited to be back. It’s been tough, but it’s what I love.” Her daily routine includes weight training, long cardio sessions, and time on the snow.

Vonn also explained that this comeback means everything because she wants to finish her career on her own terms.The Olympic champion has already survived numerous injuries, including major knee and leg surgeries.

She had knee replacement surgery in November 2024 and just weeks thereafter declared she was leaving retirement. Early in 2025, doctors authorized her to train, and since then, she has been completely concentrated on the mountains.

With 82 World Cup wins, the most by any female skier and three Olympic medals, Vonn’s legacy is already secure. But she still feels she has more to give. “It’s intense,” she said about her daily grind. “But if this is my last Olympics, I want to do it right.”

Her aim, she told AP News, is not just to compete but rather to win.
