ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn lost a chance to improve her ranking when the second race of her World Cup skiing comeback at age 40 was canceled because of strong winds and poor visibility. Vonn placed 14th in a super-G on Saturday in St. Moritz to mark her return to the circuit after nearly six years of retirement. Another super-G had been scheduled for Sunday. Looking back to Saturday’s race, Vonn’s personal coach Chris Knight told the AP that “It took her 20 seconds to get back into it, and then she was fine.” Vonn now won’t race again until the next speed weekend in St. Anton, Austria on Jan. 11-12 featuring a downhill and a super-G.
