On Saturday, she took 9th place at Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria, in the super-G.
Solid result today in tough conditions. Lost a lot of time on the bottom but generally happy to have made it down safely. Downhill training run and race in the same day tomorrow. Should be interesting. #focusedonFebruary

The appearance in PyeongChang could be the 33-year-old Vail native's final act after a long and illustrious career.
Vonn, the most decorated world cup ski racer in U.S. history, missed out on Sochi in 2014 because of injury.
She is attempting to break the record of 86 World Cup victories held by Ingemar Stenmark since 1989.
