Besides having having an illustrious career in alpine skiing, Lindsey Vonn is a go-getter and a versatile personality who wears many hats as an author, a businesswoman, and a philanthropist.

Lindsey Vonn and her revelation
Vonn is renowned for being candid with her ideas and emotions; whether she is expressing her innermost delight or fears, it doesn’t matter to her.
In an interview in 2015, the skiing legend said, “Long term is world championship and Olympics and after that I really don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know if I’ll retire or keep going.” Thereafter, she went on to win her fourth Olympic medal and many other championships.
Furthermore, she made a shocking revelation. She stated, “I’m probably the least confident person on the slopes that you’ll find, especially this time of year.” The tension and anxiety that playing a sport causes have once victimised the wind-speed alpine skier.
Every sportsperson finds it extremely difficult to survive for a number of reasons: time, past records, and future prospects. But let’s face it: that’s where legends are born, and Vonn is unquestionably one of the most illustrious athletes the world has ever seen.

One cannot help but accept that she is a living embodiment of the phrase “unstoppable,” when they observe the progress she is making. Vonn retired in February 2019.
