Lindsey Vonn made her Pyeongchang debut Saturday in the super-G and put up a strong performance, but it wasn't enough to land on the podium. 

The 33-year-old competed in her first Olympic race in eight years and came out with an aggressive start. She had a clean and near-perfect run — until the very end. On one of the final turns, Vonn lost her balance and almost fell, but was able to recover and finish strong. The falter cost her a medal. 

Vonn was clearly frustrated after her race, finishing with a time of 1:21.49. She threw her hands up at the end and said, "I tried." 

Vonn was the first athlete to compete, but it became obvious early she wasn't going to medal as the skiers only get one run in this event.

The two-time Olympic medalist won bronze in the super-G and gold in the downhill during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but a knee injury kept her out of competing in Sochi four years ago. 

Vonn will compete in the downhill during Tuesday's coverage of the Winter Games.
