It is expected that the world will see a lot of Lindsey Vonn at the Vancouver Games. She has been a World Cup skier for a long time and has recently (during the 2009 season) she secured the status of the winningest American skier of in American history.
Born October 18, 1984, Vonn skies for the American Olympic ski team. In the 2009 Alpine racing season end Lindsey Vonn had been crowned Super G, Downhill and Overall FIS World Cup Champion. This year she has been on fire. It will be an incredible upset if she is not at the top of the podium a number of times at the Vancouver Games. Everything she has done so far seems to be targeting the Vancouver Olympics.
Lindsey was also the Overall and Downhill FIS World Cup champion for 2008. At the the 2009 World Championships, Lindsey finished 1st in Downhill and 1st in Super G, DNF in Slalom and DSQ in Super Combined. In 2007 Lindsey was 2nd in Downhill and 2nd in Super G, DNS in Slalom and DSQ in Super Combined. In 2005 she finished in 4th in Downhill, 4th in Combined, 9th in Super G and DNF in Giant Slalom.
The Vancouver Games in 2010 will be Lindsey Vonn's third Olympic Games. In the 2006 Olympics, Vonn was 7th in Super G, 8th in Downhill and in 2002 at Salt Lake City, she finished 6th in the Combined.
All eyes will be on American skier, Lindsey Vonn, at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.
