Lindsey Vonn, Bio.

Born: 18th October 1984
Home: St Paul, Minnesota

As the most successful female American skier ever, Lindsey Vonn is certainly no stranger to success.

In 2002, Oakley star Vonn (then known as Lindsey Kildow) sent shock waves through the world of skiing when she finished 6th in the combined event at the 2002 Winter Olympics, finishing higher than any other American woman.

Vonn became the first American skier to seal victory in three ski disciplines in 2009/10, taking victory in the Downhill, Super-G and Super Combined events. Perhaps her most defining moment came in the 2010 Winter Olympics, when Vonn put her disappointment in the 2006 Turin Games behind her to win gold in the Downhill and bronze in the Super-G events.

Since that 2002 triumph, Vonn has stormed to title after title, completely dominating women's skiing, and her domination doesn't look like ending any time soon.
