CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy
(AP) — It's going to be an
emotional weekend for
Lindey Vonn.
Finally ready to open her
injury-delayed final full sea-
son on the World Cup cir-
cuit, Vonn will also be rac-
ing in one of her favorite
resorts for the last time.
"It's kind of a lot to process.
There's a lot going on at
one time," Vonn said at a
news conference Wednes-
day. "I'm trying to enjoy it
as much as I can without
getting too stressed out. I
love it so much here."
The resort nicknamed the
"queen" of the Dolomites
Range was where Vonn
earned her first World Cup
podium result back in 2004;
and where she broke the
all-time women's wins re-
cord with victory No. 63 in
2015 — with a surprise visit Lakers deal Bulls eighth straight loss
from then-boyfriend Tiger
Woods.
