Lindsey Vonn (
née Kildow, born October 18, 1984) is an
alpine ski racer on the
U.S. Ski Team. She is the first American woman to win back-to-back overall
World Cup championships, which she has done in
2008 and
2009.
She has also won World Cup discipline championships in downhill (also
back-to-back) and Super G (the first American woman to do so). With 28
World Cup wins in four disciplines (downhill, Super G, slalom and super
combined) and two
World Championship gold medals (plus two
World Championship silver medals), she has become the most successful American woman skier in World Cup history.
