In June 2024, Chennedy Carter's hard foul on Caitlin Clark was a big topic in the WNBA, where Carter yelled at Clark for running into her when the latter wasn't looking. Extending her support for Clark, Vonn voiced her opinion and said that the player was just being targeted. Justifying Clark's side, Vonn said:

"I think it’s an intentional attack that is unnecessary. She is being targeted, when in fact, she is massively helping to elevate the game. She doesn’t need special treatment but she definitely shouldn’t be targeted, especially with that language," Lindsey Vonn wrote.

She recently also took a hit at Sonja Nef, who made a critical comment on the skiier's possible return to the sport after her successful knee replacement. Harshly criticizing her decision, Nef said:

"I think that Lindsey doesn't cope in normal life, where she's not always the center of attention and not everything revolves around her. That's why I feel sorry for her. A fall could be devastating because Lindsey has a knee made of metal. Period. No surgeon in the world would say that what Lindsey is doing is intelligent. For me, she's ruining a lot of her image with this."

Vonn gave a sarcastic reply, taking a dig at her former competitor:

"I love it when ladies support ladies.."

In February 2019, in Are, Sweden, Lindsey Vonn became the oldest woman to win a medal at a world championship.
