Lindsey Caroline Vonn is an American alpine ski racer. She won four World Cup overall championships with titles in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012. Vonn won the gold medal in downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics, the first one for an American woman. She also won a record eight World Cup season titles in the downhill discipline (2008–2013, 2015, 2016), five titles in super-G (2009–2012, 2015), and three consecutive titles in the combined (2010–2012). In 2016, she won her 20th World Cup crystal globe title, the overall record for men or women, surpassing Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, who won 19 globes from 1975 to 1984. She has the third highest super ranking of all skiers, men or women.
Vonn is one of six women to have won World Cup races in all five disciplines of alpine skiing – downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and super combined – and (as of January 22, 2026) has won 84 World Cup races in her career. When she retired in 2019, her total of 82 World Cup victories was a women's record that stood until January 2023, when it was surpassed by Mikaela Shiffrin. Only Shiffrin and Stenmark have more victories than Vonn, with the record held by Shiffrin.
