In a March 26 Vanity Fair cover story — her first post-crash interview — Vonn discussed the moments and weeks after her crash at the 2026 Olympics and her possible return to the sport. But she elaborated on it with Melvin, telling him that she is indeed entertaining the idea of another comeback. “I mean, much to my family’s dismay, yes,” she said.

“I think it’s just something that — I mean, I’ve been, like I said, so isolated and not able to really live life outside of skiing. ” “Like, I’m still kind of trapped in this, like, I didn’t have my Olympic dream situation ... I need to walk and be out in public and, you know, be living life.

And I think that will give me a different perspective,” she added. ”Right now I can’t say what the future holds because I can’t — my mind can’t get there yet. ” In her Vanity Fair interview, Vonn also acknowledged the uncertainty of what her life could look like in the future, including the possibility of motherhood, and how that could impact another comeback.
