Everyone knows Lindsey Vonn as one of the greatest skiers in the sport’s history. She won the gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics while also setting different records for most podium victories. Hence, she prolonged her career for a long time until injury troubles hit her.

One such venture is her new documentary about her childhood idol, Picabo Street. She won the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics and is an icon for most skiers. Hence, Vonn is excited to launch her new project and shared an Instagram post.

Lindsey Vonn produces a documentary

Winning 82 World Cup races is not a simple task. She elevated her status to the top of the charts after her sensational displays in slalom and giant slalom competitions. Thus, ever since she was young, she idolized one athlete, Picabo Street. The documentary focuses on her life, her road to victories, and other unseen footage from her life. Vonn, along with Frank Marshall produced her first documentary under her production studio. The company is called Après Productions, and she is set for her debut amongst the film fraternity. Moreover, she shared an Instagram post on how excited she was to launch the documentary.

“Excited and honored to have directed and produced my first documentary on my childhood idol Picabo Street with the incredible Frank Marshall. There is so much to her story that people don’t know that is not just inspiring but also courageous. Tune in tomorrow on,” said Vonn.

The documentary would be a part of the Olympic Channel’s documentary series, “Five Rings Film”.
