Lindsey Vonn

On 2/18/2008 I had the opportunity to do a story about Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey trains in Park City a lot, and during this particular trip she was cool enough to let me meet her on the slopes for the story. Lindsey is exactly what she seems like on tv. She is down to earth, nice, and very respectful. You can also tell that she works really hard at what she does. Watching the 2010 Olympics in Canada is so fun knowing I had the opportunity to talk with one of the best skiers in the world.

Story Note: When I went to Park City to do this story, I didn't actually think I would be on top of the mountain with her, but as it turns out I was, at least until I got back on the ski lift and rode it back down. You see, I didn't exactly come prepared to ski. I had on jeans and a pair of cute dress boots. Looking back, I am sure I looked so unprepared. But, I think it worked out. The photographer I was with did all the skiing with her. I just watched from the bottom.
