“Proud to Be an Owner”: Skiing Legend Lindsey Vonn Celebrates at the Debut Game of Her Latest Venture

Lindsey Vonn, a woman of diverse taste, has lived a life carved by alpine skiing wins and stellar podiums. The 39-year-old former skier has won four World Cup all-around and held the record 82 WC victories for long until Mikaela Shiffrin broke it last year. Off the slopes, Vonn has partaken in several sporting ventures. One of them was Formula 1, for which she has a special penchant since childhood.

Very close-knit with Lewis Hamilton of F1 and tennis star Rodger Federer, the 3x Olympic medalist shifts her focus elsewhere now and then. Recently, she visited a game of one of the most popular sports in America, soccer. But a special bunch of women accompanied her, but for a special reason.

Lindsey Vonn takes LV Foundation women along for a soccer match

America’s women’s professional soccer club Utah Royals FC went head-on with the Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL event. Resorting to her X handle, the 39-year-old posted, “An honor to be at the opening @UtahRoyalsFC game with the scholarship recipients of @LV_Foundation!! Proud to be an owner of this incredible team lead by amazing women!”

The Lindsey Vonn Foundation focuses on providing aid to unprivileged girls who want to pursue their passions. Scholarship from the LV Foundation allows stellar women to excel in athletics and academics, among others. The most heartwarming thing is, that some scholarship recipients of LVF have joined Vonn to give out 25 tickets to promote inclusivity.

At every Utah home game, Lindsey Vonn will encore this practice to bring everyone under the same roof. The alpine skiing star has made good use of her brand endorsements and wins. One of the biggest investors in the sporting domain, Vonn’s portfolio includes America’s favorite sport.

Vonn is inclined towards investing in leagues

To take forward equity in women’s soccer and volleyball, Lindsey Vonn said, “..girls are still falling out so we need more and more of them to stay in to play”. But one of the most decorated skier in alpine history doesn’t usually make short-term plans. “I’m looking 10 years down the road. So I’m not cashing out of anything”, she said.

Further continued, “I mean, especially when you’re looking at investing in leagues or teams, that’s a very long-term play. So you can ask my kids if my investments were correct.” As times are changing, we need more like Vonn to jump in as investors to take the women’s sports to the pinnacle, especially produce more Olympians.
