About this ebook
Lindsey Vonn is one of the most successful skiers of all time. She's won seventy World Cups and holds records for the most victories in both downhill and super-G skiing. She is also known for winning several times while injured and making amazing comebacks after injury. Lindsey Vonn is a tough-as-nails athlete, but her life outside of racing is just as fascinating. Learn all about how she made a name for herself on the slopes, why she likes to keep her workout routines secret, how she wound up with a pet cow, and much more.
