Lindsey Vonn knew from a young age that she was passionate about downhill skiing. When her parents and grandfather noticed the toddler’s prodigal talent they enrolled her in professional lessons with some of the world’s best coaches.
Lindsey went on to win title after title, becoming the most decorated American woman skier in the history of the sport. Lindsey battled many obstacles along the way including multiple traumatic injuries. But she fought through, with the support of her family. In such a physically demanding sport, it’s no surprise that many of the hurdles that Lindsey has had to overcome have been intense and painful injuries.
Vonn’s recent retirement came as a surprise to some. Why quit while at the top of your game? Lindsey had some very special reasons for leaving with her status as champion intact. Lindsey has shared that for her, the sport is about the number of wins or medals, but about inspiring young athletes and continuing to be able to do the sport she loves in the future. Lindsey became a household name because of her ability to come back stronger than ever – every single time.
Now, Lindsey is settled down with her fiance, P.K. Subban, and their adorable dogs. What’s next for Lindsey? The sky’s the limit!
