In 2016, she won her 20th World Cupcrystal globetitle, the overall record for men or women, surpassingIngemar Stenmarkof Sweden, who won 19 globes from 1975 to 1984. She has the third highestsuper rankingof all skiers, men or women.

Vonn is one of six women[5]to have won World Cup races inall five disciplines of alpine skiing– downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and super combined – and won 82 World Cup races in her career. Her total of 82 World Cup victories was a women's record until January 2023, when it was surpassed by Shiffrin. Only Shiffrin and Stenmark, with 86 World Cup victories, have more victories than Vonn. With her Olympic gold and bronze medals, twoWorld Championshipgold medals in2009(plus three silver medals in2007and2011), and four overall World Cup titles, Vonn is one of the most successful American ski racers, and is considered one of the greatest of all skiers.[6]

In 2011, Vonn received theLaureus WorldSportswoman of the Yearaward,[7][8]and was theUnited States Olympic Committee's sportswoman of the year.[9]Injuries caused Vonn to miss parts of several seasons, including almost all of the2014 seasonand most of the2013 season.While recovering from injury, she worked as a correspondent forNBC News,covering the2014 Winter OlympicsinSochi,Russia.In 2019, she announced her retirement, citing her injuries.

Early life and education

[edit]

Born Lindsey Caroline Kildow inSt. Paul, Minnesota,she is the daughter of Linda Anne (née Krohn) and Alan Lee Kildow.[10]She grew up in theTwin Citiesmetropolitan area inBurnsville, Minnesota.Her father is of Irish ancestry and her mother was of German and Norwegian ancestry.[11]Kildow was on skis at age two before moving into Erich Sailer's renowned development program at Burnsville'sBuck Hill,which also producedslalomracerKristina Koznick.Her father, who had won a national junior title before a knee injury at 18, "pushed" her very hard, according to Sailer.[12]

When Kildow was 9 years old, she met Olympic gold medalist ski racerPicabo Street,whom she considers her hero and role model.[13]Their meeting made such an impression on Street that she remembered the meeting and later served as Kildow's mentor in skiing. On watching Kildow ski for the first time in an 1999 event, Street marveled at her knack for following thefall line,and was quoted as saying: "The faster she went, the bigger the smile she got on her face. You can't teach somebody to love the fall line like that little girl loved the fall line."[14]Kildow commuted to Colorado to train for several years before her family moved toVail, Coloradoin the late 1990s.[15][16]

Kildow attendedUniversity of Missouri High School,an online program through the university's Center for Distance and Independent Study.[17][18]She speaks German fluently.[19]Despite not attending a traditional 4-yearuniversity,she has gone on to participate inHarvard Business School's "The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports" four-day program.[20]

Skiing career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Lindsey Kildow was taught to ski by her grandfather, Don Kildow, inMilton, Wisconsin.[21]She began skiing as a child inBurnsville, Minnesota,at Buck Hill Ski and Snowboard, and through family vacations that included 16-hour drives from Minnesota toVail, Colorado.In an interview withThe New York Times,Vonn later stated, "I would be in the back under a sleeping bag, and she'd (her mother, Linda) be driving and singing along to someEric Claptontape."[22]

In the late 1990s, Kildow and her siblings and mother stopped commuting fromMinnesotatoColoradoand instead moved to Colorado to ski exclusively at Ski Club Vail. During her first SCV year in Vail, Kildow and one of her sisters skied together in the same "gravity corps" SCV group. It was during that first season that she and her family were contemplating if the entire family should move from Minnesota to Colorado. She later said, "Vail was wonderful to me, but I missed all the traditional things of childhood – sleepovers, school dances, making friends in a conventional way. Halfway through the second season, her siblings also moved to Vail." Now all my brothers and sisters had left their friends for me. That was stressful on them. I felt so guilty. "[22]

However, the move paid off because in 1999, Kildow and Will McDonald became the first American athletes to win the "Cadets" slalom events in Italy's Trofeo Topolino di Sci Alpino.[23][24]After climbing through the ranks of theU.S. Ski Team,she made herWorld Cupdebut at age 16 on November 18,2000,inPark City, Utah.

2002–2005

[edit]

In her Olympic debut at the2002 Winter Olympicsat age 17, Kildow raced in both slalom andcombinedinSalt Lake City,with her bestresultcoming with sixth in combined. On March 4, 2003, she earned a silver medal in downhill in the Junior World Championship atPuy Saint-Vincent,France.

Kildow credits a change in her attitude toward training to a bike ride with fellow ski racerJulia Mancusoand Mancuso's fatherCirowhen Kildow visited them at their home inLake Tahoe,California.With little biking experience, she quickly found herself miles behind Julia and Ciro. Alone and embarrassed, she realized she needed drastic revision of her training regimen and her attitude toward training if she was going to be successful.[25]

On March 24,2004,Kildow was thedownhillsilver medalist at the U.S. Alpine Championships at Mt. Alyeska Resort,Girdwood, Alaska.Earlier that year, Kildow climbed onto theWorld Cuppodium for the first time with a third-place finish in downhill in January 2004 at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Her maiden victory in that specialty came atLake Louise,Alberta,in December 2004. She captured five more World Cup podiums over the next two months.

In2005,she competed in four races at her firstWorld Championshipsheld inBormio,Italy, pulling in fourth-place finishes in both the downhill and the combined. She was ninth in super-G, but failed to finish the giant slalom. She cited the unexpected appearance of her father, with whom she has a strained relationship, for rattling her before the event.[12]

2006–2007

[edit]

At her secondWinter Olympicsin2006,Kildow clocked the second-best time in the first practice run yet crashed in the second training run for the downhill race on February 13, 2006, inSan Sicario,Italy; she was evacuated by helicopter toTurinand was hospitalized overnight. Despite a bruised hip and strong pains, she returned on the slope 2 days later to compete and finished eighth. The gritty performance earned her the U.S. Olympic Spirit Award, as voted by American fans, fellow Team USA athletes, former U.S. Olympians, and members of the media for best representing the Olympic Spirit.

Kildow earned her first "big race" medals with silver in both downhill and super-G at the2007 World ChampionshipsinÅre,Sweden. A training crash before the slalom caused her a low-levelACLsprain to her right knee, ending her season 4 weeks early. Nevertheless, she finished third for the season in the women's2007 World Cupdisciplines of downhill and super-G.

2008–2010: Winning the overall World Cup for three consecutive years

[edit]
Vonn in March 2008

In2008,Lindsey Vonn won the overallWorld Cuptitle. She became the second American woman to do so, followingTamara McKinneyin1983.AmericanBode Millerwon the men's title to complete the first U.S. sweep of the men's and women's overall titles in 25 years (McKinney andPhil Mahrein 1983). She also won the World Cup season title in the downhill and the U.S. Alpine Championships combined title (downhill & slalom), marking her best ski season to date. Vonn set a new American record for the most World Cup downhill victories with ten, winning atCrans-Montana,Switzerland, on March 8.

In2009,Vonn repeated as overall World Cup champion, repeated as downhill champion and also won the season championship in super-G by winning the final race of the season. During the season, she broke McKinney's American record of 18 World Cup victories when she won the super-G atTarvisioin February. Her nine World Cup wins also set an American single-season record, surpassing Mahre's total of eight in1982.At the2009 World ChampionshipsinVal-d'Isère,France, Vonn won her first world championship and became the first American woman to win the worldsuper-Gtitle.[26]In thesuper combinedevent, she won the downhill portion and had appeared to have finished second in the event with a strong slalom performance, but was disqualified for splitting a gate.[27]Three days later she won the gold in thedownhill.During early 2009, she appeared inAlka-Seltzertelevision commercials in the United States as support for the United States Ski Team. During the summer of 2009, Vonn switched her equipment sponsor and supplier toHeadskis, after previously racing her entire career onRossignolskis.[28]In October 2009, Vonn was awarded the Skieur d'Or Award, by members of the International Association of Ski Journalists for her performances during the previous season.[29]

In December 2009, Vonn sustained a bruised arm after a crash during the opening run of the World Cup giant slalom. She continued racing as there was no fracture that would prevent her return and run at the Olympic Games in Vancouver.[30]Despite skiing with her arm in a brace due to the injury, Vonn won three straight races (two downhills and a super-G) inHaus im Ennstal,Austria, from January 8–10, 2010. The wins raised her to second among American skiers on the all-time career list for World Cup wins with 28, passing Mahre and trailing only Bode Miller. On January 14, Vonn was named Colorado Athlete of the Year for 2009.[31]With her victory in a super-G just prior to the2010 Winter Olympics,she clinched her second straight super-G discipline title with two races still to go.[32]Vonn ended up also winning the overall title, as well as the discipline titles in downhill, super-G and combined, and by winning the last super-G of the season, she boosted her overall World Cup victory total to 33, surpassing Miller for the most World Cup victories by an American.[33]The third consecutive overall World Cup title also equalled Mahre's American record and made Vonn the third woman to achieve it, behindPetra Kronbergerwith 3 straight andAnnemarie Moser-Pröllwith 5 straight.[33]Vonn was also named by the Associated Press as 2010 Female Athlete of the Year.[34]

2010 Winter Olympics

At the2010 Winter OlympicsinVancouver,Vonn planned to compete in all fivewomen's alpine events.[35]On February 10, she revealed she had severely bruised her shin in training the previous week. Vonn said the pain from her injury was "excruciating" and she would have a difficult time competing at the Winter Olympics.[36]Due to unseasonably warm weather and resultant poor snow conditions, many of the Alpine skiing events were moved back, giving Vonn additional time to heal.[37]On February 17, in her first event, Vonn won the gold medal in the downhill atWhistler Blackcomb,beating longtime U.S. rivalJulia Mancusoby 0.56 seconds and becoming the first American woman to win Olympic gold in downhill.[38][39]

In her second event, the super combined, Vonn finished first in the downhill portion of the race. In the slalom portion, however, she crashed when she failed to get her ski around a right-hand gate. Vonn said her shin was not the problem. Gold and silver were won byMaria Rieschand Julia Mancuso respectively.[40]In her third event, the super-G, Vonn finished third behindAndrea FischbacherandTina Maze,0.74 seconds behind Fischbacher's winning time.[41]Afterwards, Vonn said she did not ski the last part of the course as aggressively as she could have and lost the race as a result.[42]In her fourth event, the giant slalom, fog affected visibility. Vonn crashed in her first run, resulting in a broken fourth finger and her disqualification from the event.[43][44]In her fifth event, the slalom, Vonn lost control and straddled a gate, disqualifying her from the event.

2011: Losing the overall World Cup to Maria Riesch by 3 points

[edit]

After 3 consecutive overall World Cups, Vonn faced more serious competition fromMaria Rieschof Germany in2011.Riesch had a strong start to the season by winning 2 downhills inLake Louise,Alberta,where Vonn had won 7 races. Vonn placed on the podium in every speed race but failed to finish in several slaloms. Riesch had 5 podiums in the first 6 slaloms and was significantly ahead in the overall ranking by the end of January. At the2011 World ChampionshipsinGarmisch-Partenkirchen,Germany, Vonn suffered from a concussion she acquired during training a week earlier. She started in 2 events and achieved a seventh place in super-G and a silver medal in downhill.

Back to World Cup and healthy again, Vonn finished ahead of Riesch in several races (including a giant slalom she finished third, best career result in GS until then), she took overall lead for first time that season after downhill event of the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide. The super-G was cancelled due to poor weather conditions, and after the slalom Riesch regained the overall lead by 3 points. The giant slalom was also cancelled due to weather and Riesch was the 2011 overall champion.

2012: Joining the all-event winner's club

[edit]

Vonn won her fourth Overall World Cup Title in2012.The season opened in October inSölden,Austria, where Vonn had won her first giant slalom. This made Vonn the 6th woman to have wonall eventsat least once.

On December 2–4, 2011, she won all three races inLake Louise,Alberta(two downhills, one super-G) for her second career 'hat trick', and with her eleventh win at Lake Louise she surpassedRenate Götschl's record for most career wins at a single resort (ten inCortina d'Ampezzo). On December 7, Vonn notched her first World Cup victory on U.S. snow, atBeaver Creek,Colorado. Due to a lack of snow in France, its super-G was rescheduled in advance for a Wednesday on theBirds of Preycourse. Her limited success on U.S. snow was primarily due to a lack of speed events; only three have been run in the U.S. during her career. It was the first home win by an American woman in 17 years, sinceHilary Lindhof Alaska won the downhill in nearbyVailin1994.With further victories in January 2012, she overtook Götschl to become the third most successful female World Cup racer in terms of victories. On February 4, Vonn achieved her fiftieth World Cup victory on the Kandahar downhill course atGarmisch-Partenkirchen,Germany. The win also gave her 25 career downhill victories, surpassing Götschl for second most career DH wins. With a podium finish in Russia on February 18, Vonn clinched the season title in downhill, her fifth consecutive in that discipline.

Vonn expressed disappointment that she missed the FIS Alpine Record for 2,000 points in a season by 20 points. In her final race of the season at Schladming, Austria, she was not able to improve on her first giant slalom run after losing her pole at the starting gate. Her 24th finish at Schladming led to her loss of a potential 20-plus points for her season record. "It was possible to get those 20 points, I was in a good position... If you work so hard to reach your goal but you lose your pole in the very last run, that's hard to take. It will give me even more motivation for next season", commented Vonn after the race.[45]

2013

[edit]

Vonn got off to a slow start in the2013 season,slowed by illness with marginal results in giant slalom and skipping a pair of slalom races in November 2012. She came back quickly once the speed events started, again sweeping all three races inLake Louise,Albertafrom November 30 to December 2 (two downhills, one super-G) for her third career 'hat trick', and increasing her record for most career wins at a single resort to 14. The three wins increased her career total to 56, moving her pastVreni Schneiderinto second place all-time among women behindAnnemarie Moser-Pröllwith 62.

After some disappointing results, Vonn announced her decision on December 17 to take a break from the World Cup circuit to fully recover from her earlier illness.[46]She returned and finished in 6th place on January 6 in her first downhill race since her break. Two weeks later, she won the downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo and a week later, she won the giant slalom in Maribor, Slovenia.[47]

World Championships

[edit]

At the first marathon of the2013 World ChampionshipsinSchladming,Austria, Vonn crashed in thesuper-Gand was airlifted to a nearby hospital. She tore heranterior cruciate ligamentandmedial collateral ligamentin her right knee, with atibial plateau fracture.[48]Vonn said she would be ready for the2014 Winter Olympicsdespite her injury.[49]

World Cup Finals

[edit]

Before her season-ending crash on February 5 in Schladming, Vonn led in the World Cup downhill standings with 340 points. Several were within reach of taking the title during her absence from the tour. Overall championTina Maze,who trailed Vonn by more than a hundred points, took a 4th-place finish in Méribel and a win inGarmisch-Partenkirchento close the gap to a single point with one race remaining at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide. Weather conditions were in Vonn's favor, as officials canceled the race after numerous delays due to a thick fog on the lower section. As a result, she won her sixth downhill season title despite not competing in a downhill since mid-January.

2014

[edit]

Vonn traveled to Austria for the first race of the2014 Alpine Skiing World Cup,but ultimately decided not to compete during the first weekend.[50]She announced plans to return to competition in late November.[50]On November 20, 2013, Vonn re-injured her right knee straining it and partially tearing her right ACL after a crash during training.[51]She returned to competition on December 6, finishing 40th the first of two downhill races inLake Louise,Alberta,[52]then 11th in the second downhill on December 7, followed by a 5th place in the super-G on December 8. In December, she said of her preparation for the2014 Winter Olympicsthat "I'm going to play it safe and race minimal races, so I can get the confidence and the timing and the feeling of racing again. I'm really going to be safe and smart as I can."[53]

On January 7, 2014, Vonn announced that she would not compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics because she had re-injured her right knee on December 21, 2013, while skiing in France. "I am devastated to announce that I will not be able to compete inSochi.I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level. I'm having surgery soon so that I can be ready for the World Championships at home in Vail next February. On a positive note, this means there will be an additional spot so that one of my teammates can go for gold. Thank you all so much for all of the love and support. I will be cheering for all of the Olympians and especially team USA! "[54]ESPN posted a reference to her announcement, a few hours after Vonn wrote the aforementioned on her Facebook page.[55]

2015: Comeback

[edit]

Vonn made her comeback to the top of the podium on December 6, 2014, at the women's World Cup downhill race atLake Louise,Alberta,winning the event in only her second race back.[56]In January 2015, she tied and then overtook AustrianAnnemarie Moser-Proellfor the most World Cup wins ever.

At the2015 World ChampionshipsinVail/Beaver Creek,Colorado, Vonn won a bronze medal in the first of ladies' events, the super-G.[57]She placed 5th in the downhill race and 14th in the giant slalom race.

On March 18, 2015, Vonn won the last World Cup downhill race atMeribel,France and claimed the World Cup downhill title for the seventh time. Vonn tied with Moser-Proell for the women's record of seven globes in one discipline.[58]The next day, Vonn notched her eight victory of the season by winning the last super-G race. With this win, Vonn took the super-G season title for a fifth time, tying a record shared by GermanKatja Seizinger,AustrianHermann Maierand NorwegianAksel Lund Svindal.She joinedIngemar Stenmarkfrom Sweden as the only skiers to reach 19 season titles across all disciplines and the overall. Vonn also made a World Cup podium for the 113th time, tying Moser-Proell's women's record.[59][60]

2016

[edit]

Vonn started the season by winning the three races contested by women inLake Louise,Alberta(2 Downhill, 1 Super-G) for her third career victory. This brought her to 70 career World Cup wins, increasing her lead over the previous women's world record holder for most World Cup podiums by a woman (AustrianAnnemarie Moser-Proell,62 career victories) and with her 25th Super-G win, she passed AustrianHermann Maierfor most Super-G wins for either gender.[61]In January, Vonn tied the record of Moser-Pröll for all-time downhill victories at 36 with a win at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria. Because poor snow conditions resulted in a shorter course, the race was uniquely held over two combined runs, similar to slalom and giant slalom races. Two weeks later in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Vonn broke Moser-Pröll's record with her 37th downhill victory.

2017

[edit]

On November 11, 2016, Vonn announced on her Facebook page that she had severely fractured the humerus bone of her right arm in a training crash. She had undergone surgery to repair the bone.[62]Vonn returned to the World Cup on January 15, 2017, in the downhill race atAltenmarkt;she finished 13th. On January 20, in her second race back from injury, she won the downhill event inGarmisch-Partenkirchen,Germany, capturing her 77th win.[63]

On December 7, 2017, Vonn stated in an interview she would not be representing PresidentDonald Trumpin the2018 Winter Olympicsand would not attend the White House reception if she won a gold medal. Vonn made it clear in her statement that she feels that all Olympians represent the United States people, and not the leaders. She was quoted in theCNNarticle saying, "Well I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the President."[64]

2018

[edit]

At the2018 Winter Olympics,Vonn tied for 6th in women's super-G.[65]She won the bronze medal in women's downhill.[66]Vonn dedicated her Olympic races to her grandfather, aKorean Warveteran who died the previous November, competing with his initials on her helmet.[67]In a tearful interview following the woman's downhill race, Vonn stated: "Our family never gives up and I never gave up. I kept working hard and I'm really proud of this medal and I know he (her grandfather) is too."[68]She later scattered some of her grandfather's ashes near the men's downhill racing course, stating: "I know that it would mean a lot to him to be back here, a part of him is in South Korea always."[69]

2019

[edit]

In October 2018, ahead of the start of the2018–19 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup,Vonn announced that she would retire from competition at the end of the season. Having previously suggested that she would continue until she had brokenIngemar Stenmark's record for World Cup race victories, she confirmed that she would retire in 2019 regardless of whether she managed to surpass Stenmark's tally, explaining that "physically, I've gotten to the point where it doesn't make sense... I really would like to be active when I'm older, so I have to look to the future and not just be so focused on what's in front of me". She also said that she aimed to compete in all downhills and super-Gs in the World Cup season, planning to make her debut atLake Louise,Albertaat the end of November.[70]However the following month, she injured her knee whilst training atCopper Mountain,forcing her to pull out of the Lake Louise races.[71]Subsequently, she announced that she would delay her retirement so she could compete at Lake Louise the following season.[72]Vonn finally made her season debut at Cortina d'Ampezzo in January 2019, finishing 15th and 9th in the two downhills there,[73]before failing to finish the super-G: after the latter race she told reporters that she was considering retiring immediately, stating that she would "give it a couple of days and make some decisions".[74]On February 1, Vonn announced that she would retire after the2019 World Championshipstaking place in Sweden.[75]On February 10, after she won a bronze medal in women's downhill, she finally retired from the race circuit, with her wish to get flowers from Stenmark as a goodbye being fulfilled.[76]With the clinching of the bronze, she became the oldest woman to win a medal at a world championship (at age 34) and the first female racer to receive medals at six different world championships.[77]

Subban,a defenseman in theNHL.[92]Subban traveled toÅre,Sweden, to watch her win a bronze medal in the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships Downhill on February 10, 2019.[93]On August 23, 2019, Vonn and Subban announced their engagement.[94]In December 2019, Vonn announced she proposed to Subban.[95]In May 2020, Vonn and Subban purchased a villa in Beverly Hills for $6.75 million.[96]In July 2020, she asked her followers onTwitterfor their opinions regardinginterracial relationships.[97]On October 21, 2020, Vonn and Subban were announced as members of the ownership group ofAngel City FC,aLos Angeles-based team set to start play in theNational Women's Soccer Leaguein 2022.[98]On December 29, they both announced their break-up on Instagram. Vonn announced that the two had parted ways, but remained friends.[99]Since 2021, Vonn has been dating Diego Osorio, co-founder of tequila companyLobos 1707.[100]

In 2005, as the winner of the downhill atVal d'Isère,Vonn was offered a pregnantTarine cow,a locally popular dairy breed. As most skiers do not want to keep livestock, she was offered the option to sell the animal immediately back to the organizers for EUR 5,000. However, Vonn decided to keep it, as she knew a farmer in Austria who would be willing to take care of the cow, who she named Olympe.[101]In 2009, she won a goat, which she gave to a different farmer in Austria.[101]In 2014, she won a calf in Val d'Isère, which she kept as well.[60]As of 2014, she owned a small herd of cows on the farm.[101]

Vonn's mother, Linda Krohn, died in August 2022, following a one year battle withALS.[102]
