In the lead up to PyeongChang 2018 superstar skier Lindsey Vonn shares with Eurosport her top five most treasured memories, moments and influences via a series of photographs posted on her social media

2010 Olympic victory.

One that definitely was the most emotional race and the most emotional victory because my family had given me so much to get to that point – when I crossed the finish line I was so excited. It was just an unbelievable feeling.

Family
Our parents just love dressing us up in Dale of Norway sweaters so we were all matching and colour-co-ordinated. It’s just a classic picture that reminds me of my youth and all the good times we had together.

Knee Surgery
I just had my second knee surgery and I got Leo (her dog) because I was definitely struggling – having two knee surgeries and missing the Olympics was pretty brutal and I needed a friend so I adopted Leo from an animal shelter. He had a bad knee as well so we were both on the mend.

Breaking the record
When I broke the World Cup win record of 63 wins in Cortina I was spraying champagne everywhere and my whole family was there. It was something I never thought I’d be able to achieve – it just kind of happened. I just kept working hard and just tried to keep winning as many races as I could. The fact I was able to break it was incredible. Besides the Olympics, it was one of my best experiences of my career for sure.

Legacy
When you are a skier you don’t really think about being an author, but I’ve learned a lot in my career and I wanted to share that so that was a really proud moment for me. It was a lot of hard work, a lot of time and effort and I hope I can help other people find confidence in themselves and become healthier and stronger people.
