Lindsey Vonn discloses her thoughts on her current perspective and freedom from external pressure
Lindsey Vonn is a decorated alpine skier with 82 World Cup wins and multiple records. Along with her Olympic and World Championship feats, she has twenty World Cup Globes to her name.
During her interview with Sports Illustrated in February 2025, she shared her thoughts on her perspective and having freedom from expectations and pressure. She said:
“My perception of myself never has. I’m still the same little girl who wanted to be a ski racer and wanted to be an Olympian. Maybe now, I’m just a little bit more myself; I don’t have the expectations or outside pressure I might have felt more before. People see this in my face. I’m having such a great time. I’m laughing. I’m smiling. And some of that is a weight that’s been lifted off of me.”
The alpine skier received the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award in 2011.
