Lindsey Vonn hasn’t made enough of a comeback to earn a spot on the team yet, but that won’t matter...

Lindsey Vonn hasn’t made enough of a comeback to earn a spot on the team yet,

She's not going anywhere, she placed 12th in the downhill last Sunday (.9 sec. behind winner) in Lake Louise.

In the Super G, she had the 2nd fastest training run and had the fastest time when she fell 3/4 of the way down the course.........

There's only one other woman skier on the team that comes close to Vonn and that's Mikaela Shiffrin who will likely be the successor to Vonn on the U.S. Ski team when Vonn retires.

Also keep in mind that Vonn wasn't a factor on last season's World Cup tour due to missing most of the season from a broken arm in November and yet still has the most wins of any woman in World Cup history

She's finally healthy again and based on last weekend's performance, she's going to be a favorite as the season progresses provided she stays injury free.....
