(SOUNDBITE) (English) LINDSEY VONN, U.S. OLYMPIC ALPINE SKI RACER, SAYING: "A lot of people doubted me. I never doubted myself. But at the same time, you know, with all the negative voices, sometimes it was hard to hear my own voice, and when I crossed the finish line and saw two next to my name, I lost it because it was so emotional and I was so proud of myself, which I normally, you know, I don't give myself that much. I don't ever pat myself self on the back, because I always look to the next race. But in that moment I was like, wow, you really did it, and it was so meaningful to me. I think the only race that was more emotional for me was winning the Olympics. That's how special it was." SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (FILE – MAY 6, 2015) (REUTERS – Access all) 5.

You know, it's only made me that much more clear in my mind and confident as a person, not just a ski racer, but a person. So, overall, I'm in a much better place than I ever have been, and I'm excited to be standing in the starting gate with that perspective." PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KOREA (FILE FEBRUARY 2018) (REUTERS – Access all) (MUTE) 19. TWO STILL PHOTOS OF VONN COMPETING IN THE 2018 WINTER OLYMPICS STORY: Lindsey Vonn's Olympic comeback story kicks into high gear this week as Wednesday marks 100 days until the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, but the American skiing great said she was staying cool under the glare of the spotlight. The 41-year-old fan favorite announced her retirement in 2019 but rejoined the U.S. ski team a year ago after knee surgery allowed her to hit the slopes without pain in a remarkable recovery. The 82-times World Cup winner returned to the World Cup circuit in December 2024, finishing 14th in the super-G at St Moritz, Switzerland, and earned a pair of top-10 finishes in the downhill and super-G a month later in St. Anton, Austria. But critics soon followed, as she crashed out at Cortina and failed to finish at Garmisch-Partenkirchen weeks later. Vonn, whose women's World Cup wins record was eclipsed by compatriot Mikaela Shiffrin in 2023, is now aiming to become the oldest woman to medal in Olympic alpine skiing if she qualifies.
