Więcej o książce
The first memoir from the greatest female ski racer reveals untold stories of her life in the fast lane and the bold decisions that helped her break barriers for athletes worldwide. On February 10, 2019, at 34, world champion alpine skier and Olympic gold medallist Lindsey Vonn announced her retirement. As the first American woman to win a downhill race at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Vonn boasts an extraordinary career with 82 World Cup wins, 20 World Cup titles, 3 Olympic medals, and 7 World Championship medals. In her memoir, Vonn shares that her journey to success has been anything but easy. She moved from her small Minnesota town to pursue skiing, navigated her personal life under public scrutiny, challenged skiing norms, and raised the profile of women in the sport. Vonn faced numerous obstacles, including high-speed crashes and remarkable recoveries, yet she persevered through it all. As the founder of the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, she has inspired fans and athletes, especially young women, since her Olympic debut. This inspiring book allows readers to cheer for their favorite sports hero once more as she recounts her triumphs, discusses her next chapter, and encourages us to never give up on our dreams.
