Lindsey Vonn Then & Now: See Photos of the American Athlete Over the Years

Lindsey Vonn is an iconic American athlete, known for her incredible skill as an alpine ski racer on the US Ski Team.

Lindsey Vonn is one of the most accomplished American athletes of all time, best known for her dominance as an alpine ski racer on the U.S. Ski Team. During her peak competitive years, she won four overall World Cup titles — three consecutively in 2008, 2009, and 2010, and again in 2012 — a feat achieved by only one other woman, skiing legend Annemarie Moser-Pröll. Vonn also earned three Olympic medals (one gold and two bronze) and retired in 2019 as one of the most decorated skiers in the sport’s history.

After stepping away from competition due to injuries, Vonn made headlines again in 2025 with a remarkable return to elite racing. She captured a World Cup downhill victory in St. Moritz, becoming the oldest woman ever to win a World Cup downhill race and marking her first win at that level in nearly eight years. The emotional victory reinforced her status as one of the sport’s most resilient figures and renewed attention on her continued presence in competitive skiing ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Lindsey has been romantically linked to other athletes in the past, like Tiger Woods.
