Lindsey Vonn is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished alpine ski racers in history. Born on October 18, 1984, she made her mark on the sport by winning four World Cup overall championships, a feat only surpassed by a few elite athletes like Annemarie Moser-Pröll and Mikaela Shiffrin. Vonn's dominance in the sport was evident through her three consecutive World Cup titles from 2008 to 2010, and another in 2012. Her crowning achievement came at the 2010 Winter Olympics, where she became the first American woman to win a gold medal in the downhill event, solidifying her place in skiing history.

Throughout her career, Vonn demonstrated remarkable versatility, winning World Cup races in all five alpine skiing disciplines: downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and super combined. Her 82 World Cup victories stood as a women's record until 2023, when it was surpassed by Mikaela Shiffrin. Vonn's ability to excel across multiple disciplines, combined with her Olympic gold and bronze medals, as well as two World Championship golds, made her one of the most decorated American ski racers of all time. Her achievements are only rivaled by a select few, including Ingemar Stenmark and Shiffrin.

In addition to her competitive success, Vonn's career was marked by resilience in the face of numerous injuries. Despite missing significant portions of the 2013 and 2014 seasons due to injury, she continued to compete at the highest level, winning her 20th World Cup crystal globe in 2016, surpassing Stenmark's previous record of 19. Vonn's determination and work ethic earned her widespread recognition, including the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award in 2011 and the United States Olympic Committee's sportswoman of the year honor.

Vonn announced her retirement in 2019, citing the toll that injuries had taken on her body. Even in retirement, her legacy as one of the greatest alpine ski racers remains intact, and she continues to inspire future generations of athletes. Her contributions to the sport, both on and off the slopes, have left an indelible mark on the world of skiing.
