Lindsey Vonn Instagram – Reflecting on what I achieved this weekend on a day that would have been my Mother’s 73rd birthday…
When I stood in the starting gate Sunday a sliver of sunshine came out and blanketed the first few gates of the course… if only for a second… I knew my Mom was with me. I knew it was my time to risk it all in front of so many American fans, including my father and brother.
The tears that flowed after I finished were a mix of relief, pride, joy, and a feeling a great appreciation for this crazy journey I have embarked on.
It’s been only 11 months since I had a partial knee replacement, only 3 months since returning to racing but after this podium I’m looking forward… it’s only 11 months until the Olympics in Cortina, Italy.
I will continue to believe in myself, work hard and do my best to put myself in a position to succeed next year. After this weekend though, I guess all the haters know I what I’ve known all along… this 40 year old woman STILL HAS IT!! Never stop believing 💪🏻
This is for you Mom!! Happy birthday. I love you ❤️
*this is another one of my Mom’s favorite songs 🪽… I think we listened to this CD a million times driving to races. | Posted on 26/Mar/2025 00:30:55
