Four-time World Cup overall championship winner in skiing Lindsey Vonn calls Johnson his mentor. Recently, talking to Access Hollywood’s Zuri Hall at the 2022 red carpet of ESPY, Vonn revealed how it feels doing work out with Johnson. She said, “I cannot keep up with him on arm day, that’s just a fact…and I have like better balance and that kind of stuff, but leg day we can hang with each other. Leg day is a good day for us.” It’s a tough fight, and nobody can beat Dwayne easily in a workout.
The reporter also questioned her if she would ever participate in American Ninja Warrior. Vonn said, “My knees are a little too beat up for that, my knees, my arm, everything yours and mine both, and I am not an olympian 10 years ago maybe, but I’m gonna watch it.”
How Dwayne Johnson’s bond is strong with Lindsey Vonn
When Lindsey Vonn retired from Skiing in 2019, she signed a deal with Under Armour. And Under Armour was the brand of Dwayne Johnson, then she officially became the brand ambassador of it.
During a conversation with FN’s January edition Magazine, Vonn revealed how their friendship started. Lindsey stated, “We actually started our friendship because he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and they asked him, ‘Could anyone keep up with you in the gym?’ And he said the only person would be me — and I was like, whoa, whoa, I’m not sure that’s accurate. Anyways, I was shocked by the interview, and his people contacted us, and he’s been a great friend and a great mentor since then.”
Vonn has also said that she and Johnson have competed head-to-head in the gym many times. And she hates doing arm workouts with him because she thinks she can’t compete with him on this.
