The teams have been announced or in other words: may the speculation on a Vonn comeback without ACL commence. 😂

Mikaela is going into an “exploration season” and plans to race less slalom.

She’s not quitting slalom or taking it less seriously. She simply wants to put more focus into GS and Super-G, follow her curiosity, and give herself more room for recovery and focused training.

She’ll also skip the early-season European races and is currently planning to make her first race of the season at Killington.

Luckily, they are saving snow over the summer, otherwise things could get complicated even on a glacier.

• Federica Brignone will miss the race in Sölden on October 24. After undergoing another surgery on her severely injured left leg, she will focus on her recovery for the time being.
• Brignone plans to get back on her skis in November to test her condition. The two-time Olympic champion will also sit out the North American tour in late November and early December.
• Sofia Goggia will also miss the race in Sölden after suffering from two viral illnesses. Although the acute phase is over, she is not yet ready to compete due to persistent fatigue and exhaustion.

Top Italian duo Brignone and Goggia to miss the season opener in Sölden

I'm sure that we will see Goggia at some point, but hopefully Fede will be pain-free, otherwise she probably won't race anymore.
