Her victory in Downhill on Friday, second-place finish on Saturday, and fourth-place result on Sunday's Super-G showed that she's back. This follows some bizarre comments from various ski racers, including Franz Klammer and Michaela Dorfmeister, about her comeback. That's not to say though other athletes weren't on her side. Among those rooting for her is one of the greatest basketball players of all time."

CONGRATULATIONS @lindseyvonn. 40+ is the new 20. Well until you wake up the next day!" As LeBron referenced, recovery is a big part of the process for Vonn now. As part of her comeback, her coach (Chris Knight) mentioned how recovery is now a renewed focus for the ski racer."
