Lindsey Vonn shares a full-circle moment with young fan as she continues her comeback in the Alpine skiing season

Lindsey Vonn's foundation recently shared a heartfelt full-circle moment on social media, highlighting a fan named Maya she met at an LVF camp eight years ago. The post includes a video of Vonn signing the fan's forehead, along with a then-and-now photo.

Eight years ago, a fan named Maya attended the LVF camp, where she met the legendary skier. She then asked the skier to sign her forehead. Now, years later, Maya was present at Beaver Creek, supporting the US Ski Team at an event where Vonn was participating. The fan once again asked for a forehead signature, recalling the memory.

The Foundation shared the story on Instagram on 28th February 2025, accompanied by a caption.

"We 💛 full circle moments like these!"
