Yeah, excluding the Macuga girl (who is relative newcomer) Vonn still beat all the "veteran" US skiers which doesn't really put them in a great light (and only one of them was barely within one second of Vonn).

Lampic could have contended for the pursuit podium even with five misses but six was one too many. Grotian had a ski binding failure on the first lap

When she announced her comeback at age 40, I couldn't help but think about Bill Johnson attempting a comeback at age 40. 

Maybe just a bit premature.  Revive it this time next year.
