Lindsey Vonn shared her thoughts on her final appearance at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, which will be organized next year. In her conversation with the Olympics.com website, Vonn remarked,

“I think this would definitely be the most meaningful Olympics of my career. I’d be going at 41 years old, which is something that’s never been done in ski racing for a woman. And I hope that it inspires others to follow their dreams as well. One of the coolest parts of this journey is just getting the response from people, especially women around my age who still have dreams and aspirations. I hope they continue to follow them, just like I am.”

Vonn made her Winter Olympics debut at the quadrennial event held in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2002. She won a gold medal in the downhill event and a bronze medal at the Super G event in Vancouver Olympics in 2010, followed by a bronze medal in the downhill event at the Pyeongchang Olympics held in 2018.
