The new life of Lindsey Vonn has already begun a few weeks ago, from that February 10th in which Are conquered the world bronze downhill in Are, on the day of the last race of an amazing career.
The US star has been the protagonist in recent days of a great event linked to its Lindsey Vonn Foundation, led by her sister Laura, which allowed to raise additional funds in a path that, only in 2018, saw the LVF allow 30 girls to achieve their dreams, through 83 thousand euros in scholarships. Just in Vail, the winner of 82 races in the World Cup is back again under the knife, given that Vonn has been operated on her left knee already battered in recent years. "Unfortunately it is not an April Fool's - Lindsey said through social media directly from the clinic - but the surgery went well."
The 34-year-old from Minnesota, as mentioned, is throwing herself headlong into a thousand post-career activities, admitting that competition is already behind her. "Ski races are only a part of my life, it's strange because it's all already so far in my mind, among the various commitments I'm involved with. I accepted what I did in my career and I am fully satisfied, so I look forward to it and I think I can do something much bigger, at least that's the hope, in various areas. There are so many doors open ... ". Like that of the Project Rock Collection, in collaboration with the clothing company Under Armor. And to those who criticized her for having presented herself rigged in the operating room, Lindsey herself replied on social media. "Yes, I've put make-up on and I've had eyelash extensions for weeks. Surgery is not fun and putting on makeup is the 'only way to go'.
The warrior is always the same, even without skis on her feet ...
