The 34-year-old Vonn was planning to step away in December. But the all-time winningest female World Cup racer contemplated retiring effective immediately after struggling to finish a super-G in Italy earlier this month because of the severe pain in both knees. Vonn later announced on social media the pain was due to a nerve issue.<\/p>\n

Vonn skipped the World Cup races in Germany over the weekend to heal up.<\/p>\n

Shiffrin will be chasing after her fourth straight world championship slalom title. Her first World Cup win was at a slalom race in Are in 2012.<\/p>\n

U.S. WOMEN’S ROSTER: Alice Merryweather, Paula Moltzan, Nina O’Brien, Laurenne Ross, Shiffrin and Vonn.<\/p>\n
