Lindsey Vonn secured her first podium finish since making her comeback at the age of 40 after finishing second in the super-G at the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, Idaho.

The three-time Olympic skiing medallist finished 1.29 seconds behind Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami, who claimed a record sixth super-G title.

American Vonn retired in February 2019 but announced she would come back to the sport in November last year having had successful knee surgery in April.

She made her competitive return at the FIS Fall Festival at Copper Mountain, Colorado in December.

Italy's Federica Brignone, who led the super-G season standings by five points going into the event, finished third.

Vonn made her World Cup debut aged 16 in 2000 and went on to win 20 World Cup titles - including four overall Crystal Globes - and eight World Championship medals, with 137 World Cup podiums and 82 World Cup victories.

Vonn won Olympic downhill gold at the Winter Games in Vancouver in 2010, where she also took bronze in the Super-G. She claimed another downhill bronze in Pyeongchang in 2018.
