Olympics: America's Lindsey Vonn Going for the gold
She is attractive, strong, and full of energy: ski-Star Lindsey Vonn dominated the ski hills last year with her training. Her record stands: the overall World Cup champion, two world championship medals and a total of twelve and six downhill super-G victories. But Lindsey Vonn does not hold back - for the new season has started, it she has much larger ambitions: going for the gold! And to get there she knows she must train hard every day.
"Work hard and it pays off!" It is this philosophy of life that dominates Lindsey Vonn. The 25-year-old skier is a world leader – and today is perhaps the best racer in the world. But what looks easy and relaxed on the slopes, is the result of a long preparation and intensive training. Lindsey Vonn’s success is driven by hard work, discipline and dedication.
Lindsey Vonn grew up as a skiier. She was born in Minnesota, which is fairly flat, and not somewhere you would expect an Olympic skiier to be raised. Nevertheless, her father introduced her to the sport of skiing. Lindsey Vonn's father, who had once won the U.S. Junior Championships, recognized the exceptional talent of his daughter quickly. Every year in the winter time, he would send her to Colorado, where she participated in special training camps. As Lindsey Vonn reached the age of eleven, she pulled her entire family to the Vail ski resort in Colorado. This is the biggest ski area in the U.S., and where her talent and career was started.
The move of the family managed to pay off: at 15, Lindsey celebrated her first major success as U.S. Vice-Champion in downhill. Lindsey Vonn had her breakthrough at the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City: coming in sixth place in the combination, she surprised the competition. From then on, her career blossomed: many rankings, victories, and then last winter came the best and most successful season of her career.
After Lindsey’s success, she continued in the new season, and during the summer break worked on her body and fitness levels. After her last race in March, her American trainer gave himself only a short breather before they began to prepare: in May, the starting signal was given for the upcoming season. Lindsey Vonn started the year training in the U.S., followed by units in Austria and New Zealand in September and then a training camp in Chile, where she took the final touches for the World Cup opener in Soelden.
"Get up when you fall – and want it more than ever." It is probably this second life philosophy that Lindsey Vonn describes as her motivational tool. Even during the summer training, her goals were clear in her mind. The 25-year-old works hard for months of preparation to succeed in the winter races. Lindsey can therefore be found in the fitness studio throughout the summer regularly for daily units to strengthen the body. In order to be a powerful racer on the slopes you need body mass. The stronger you are, the faster you are, says Lindsey Vonn. In addition to endurance strength training and on the bike, she will play tennis.
With 120 miles an hour down the runway - strength and endurance are one priority, mental strength and good nerves are the others. Every night she tries to relax for at least nine hours sleep, or drifts off to her favorite television series "Law & Order" which is one of her and her families weaknesses.
