“Getting Aksel to my team for this season feels like a natural and incredibly exciting step,” said Vonn.

As Vonn, Svindal had resigned in ARE/Sweden after the 2019 World Championships. The Olympic champion in the 2010 departure had decided last winter with a comeback with a view of the Olympic Games in February in Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo.
“This comeback is about exceeding and proving limits what is possible, and I believe that Aksel will help me to have the additional lead that I will need on this ambitious journey,” she said.
Svindal won Olympic gold in Vancouver in the Super-G in 2010 and eight years later in Pyeongchang in the departure. He also won the World Cup gold five times and twice the overall World Cup. “His knowledge of sport, especially when it comes to equipment and racing strategy, is unprecedented and I have always valued his findings,” said Vonn.
“I was a little surprised when Lindsey called me, but above all I felt honored,” said Svindal, “She knows me pretty well, so she hadn’t asked, unless she really thought I could do something. I can hardly wait to see what is possible in the next few months.”
Last winter, Vonn had taken second place at the last Super-G of the season in Sun Valley/US state of Idaho. It is the oldest ski racer who was on the podium in a World Cup race.
