Through the years

Olympics

Made her debut in 2002 at Salt Lake City, racing in slalom and Alpine combined, and went to three of the next four Games, missing the 2014 Games in Sochi because of injury. She ended her Olympic career with three medals: a gold in the downhill and bronze in the super-G at Vancouver in 2010, and last year's bronze in Pyeongchang. The downhill gold was the first by an American woman. "The best day of my life by far," she said that day.

Worlds

Competed in eight world championships and from 2007-17 won two gold, three silver and two bronze medals — all in the downhill or super-G. In 2009 she became the first American woman to win the world super-G title. In 2013 she needed reconstructive right knee surgery after tumbling when she landed in a patch of soft snow during the super-G in Schladming, Austria.

Sunday

Will compete in her final competitive race, in the women's downhill at the world championships in Sweden. NBCSN has coverage at 5:25 a.m. Among those expected to attend are her dad and two siblings, U.S. Ski Team top brass and Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark.
