Neureuther skeptical
Vonn? “The jumps with an artificial knee joint …”
Former German ski racer Felix Neureuther has doubts about whether Lindsey Vonn's comeback makes sense. "Jumping with an artificial knee joint is tough," says the 40-year-old.
The rumors continue to persist and have recently even become more concrete: Is ski queen Vonn returning to the World Cup? In fact, the 40-year-old is said to be working on entering the big ski stage again, just like Marcel Hirscher. But the situation cannot be compared, explains Felix Neureuther at least.
"There's a huge difference between wanting to make a comeback in slalom and giant slalom or in downhill and super-G, like Lindsey Vonn," emphasizes the German. Because in the speed disciplines, "it's about a bit more than red, blue and somehow skiing technically clean".
"I couldn't imagine it"
The US American's medical record is particularly important. "With the speeds, with the jumps with an artificial knee joint, that's tough," says Neureuther, taking a skeptical view of the starting position.
The 40-year-old also has the support of Viktoria Rebensburg. The former racer is also skeptical about a Vonn comeback, telling Bayerisches Fernsehen: "It's difficult when you're no longer used to the speed. So I couldn't imagine skiing anywhere, a downhill off the cuff like that." In the end, Vonn can always judge it best herself.
