Lindsey Vonn

Lindsey Vonn (née Kildow) is an Olympic alpine ski racer known as one of the most successful skiers in history, with multiple World Cup titles, Olympic medals and a career marked by record-breaking achievements and high-profile relationships. Vonn spent her childhood in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she began skiing at age 2. After gaining the attention of alpine skier Picabo Street, she quickly emerged as a standout talent. She competed internationally as a teenager and represented Team USA at the 2002 Winter Olympics when she was just 17 years old.

Vonn’s rise to fame came through her dominance on the World Cup circuit during the late 2000s. She won four overall World Cup championships and became one of the sport’s biggest stars despite having to comeback from multiple injuries. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, she became the first American woman to win Olympic gold in downhill skiing.

The skier held the women’s record for World Cup victories, with 82 wins total before it was surpassed by fellow American Mikaela Shiffrin in 2023. She is also known for her memoir Rise: My Story (2022) and the HBO documentary Lindsey Vonn: The Final Season. She originally announced her retirement from the sport in 2019, but later returned to compete in 2024 for the U.S. national team.

Vonn married fellow skier Thomas Vonn in 2007, and the pair divorced in 2013. She later dated Tiger Woods, Kenan Smith and P.K. Subban, the latter to whom she was briefly engaged before their 2020 split. She moved on with Diego Osorio from 2021 to 2025. In 2026, she sparked dating rumors with French skier Matthieu Bailet.
