It’s been nearly eight years since Lindsey Vonn broke out in a big way at the 2010 Winter Olympics, earning a bronze and a gold medal, and the years since have seen no shortage of highs and lows for the alpine skier.
Injuries, recoveries, successes and failures — not to mention a two-year relationship with Tiger Woods — Vonn, 33, has been through it all.
Next, she’s set to compete in her fourth Olympics, making her primetime debut Friday evening in the super-g, after sitting out the 2014 Games after a series of major injuries, including severely damaging her Acl and her right knee.
