Lindsey Vonn is arguably the world’s greatest Alpine Skiing legend. With three Olympic medals under her name, she has become the person to whom the people of the USA take pride. Furthermore, her four World cup Overall Championships have etched her name in the sport’s history. While all the rookies of ski or any of her compatriots look up to her as motivation, Vonn shares the source of her inspiration to become what she is today.

Recently, the USA’s pride posted a picture of Malala Yousafzai on her social media, sharing her contribution to Vonn’s well-being. Yousafzai is a philanthropist who advocates for girls’ education and is famous as one of the most influential persons in the world. But how does she motivate the ski legend? Let’s find out.

Evidently, after their recent meeting in the NBA All-Stars game, Vonn and Yousafzai were seen sharing pictures taken together. Just a day before, Vonn took to her Instagram Story to share a picture with “The most inspiring” Malala. And after that, Malala posted another picture and captioned it, “Seeing @lindseyvonn twice in two days”. To this, the former Ski legend couldn’t resist her excitement and reposted the picture in her story“Speechless. You are my inspiration! Thank You Malala”, shared Vonn.

Evidently, both women are powerful and influential in their ways as women sympathizers. Notably, Vonn led her team in Ruffles Celeb Game as an assistant basketball coach in the NBA All-Stars game. Furthermore, she created the Lindsey Vonn Foundation to empower girls. Just like her, Malala, too, is on her way to freeing girls from any barriers that stop them from flourishing. Despite their distinctive careers, Malala and Vonn have two things in common- their fearless attitude and insightful self-belief.

The bold personality that Vonn possesses

Setting new standards by breaking existing records is not very new to the Olympic medalist. But besides her ‘rink’ of finesse, Vonn has a diversified identity, being an entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist. In addition, she also gives way to her nonchalance when it comes to being afraid. Significantly, the skier once shared how she never gets frightened by anything.

Though, as she admitted, Vonn often gets nervous, she never leaves a scope of being afraid. Moreover, her vivid personality is such that she never steps back or thinks twice before taking any risks in life. As for her, “Fear can be quite debilitating as a mindset–and can stop people from achieving the things they want to.”
