100 days to the Winter Olympics: Lindsey Vonn on mental health, retirement and fashion
CNN
Retiring as the greatest female ski racer of all time, Lindsey Vonn made a living out of her downhill speed, but away from the slopes, she was fighting uphill battles.
Vonn finally called time on a glittering career in 2019 after 18 years on the World Cup circuit, three Winter Olympic medals, eight world championship medals and a record 82 race wins -- just four wins short of Ingemar Stenmark's all-time record.
It is a testament to her resilience that she amassed such a haul of accolades in spite of countless injuries that left her body "broken beyond repair" and forced her to miss out on Olympics, world championships and world records, but Vonn has been candid about battles with depression she faced both during her career and since retirement.
