Overview
- US Ski & Snowboard listed Vonn on its preliminary World Cup roster for 2026/27 using a two-step system of nomination now and formal team admission in October 2026.
- Final admission requires Vonn to accept the spot and meet team criteria, so the listing does not confirm she will race next winter.
- Vonn is rehabbing complex leg injuries from her Olympic downhill crash, including a torn ACL and severe damage to her knee and lower leg treated with multiple surgeries.
- She has said she needs at least one and a half years to be fully fit after ACL repair and has not decided if she will return to racing.
- Recent public signs of progress include appearing at the Met Gala without crutches, while the two-step roster process lets injured veterans keep eligibility without rushing recovery.
