Lindsey Vonn reflects on competing at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics
Throughout her decorated career, Lindsey Vonn has participated in four Olympic games. In the 2010 Winter Olympics at British Colombia, she became the first American woman to clinch a gold medal in the downhill race.
During her interview with Sports Illustrated in February 2025, she disclosed her plans to conclude her distinguished career with the 2026 Winter Olympics Milano Cortina, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. This is the venue where she holds the record for most World Cup wins. She added:
“That was one thing that really bothered me when I retired. I wanted to race in Cortina. That was a big goal and dream of mine. I have a different connection with every mountain if that makes sense. I understood Cortina very well. I knew the line I needed to take. Knew where the fall line was. Knew how to ski. It was a meaningful place for me, to begin with. Would be a great place to … close the loop.”
In 2011, the skier received the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award, honoring her achievements in sports.
