Lindsey Vonn has spent most of the past seven years, defending something.
The most advanced skier Lindsey Vonn, United States production has 42 WINS WORLD CUP and an Olympic gold medal. She became the first American to win three consecutive overall World Cup title in 2008 for the 2010 year, but ski Championship isn't the only thing Frank, photogenic person American winter sports had to defend.
Its relations with the United States teammate Julia Mancuso, who told Sports Illustrated's 2010 year that you meet after the races and how this is a bad day if Lindsey didn't do well. "
There is her facial expressions. Her decision to put in a bikini for a photo shoot. Her criticism of the course conditions. Her alleged lack of enthusiasm after it has been reported in the sport's best friend, Maria Riesch, Germany, Hoefl-took his World Cup title last season. There are claims that Vonn RSVP'd ' no '-Hoefl-Riesch wedding this offseason via email. And claims her friendship with Hoefl-Riesch--so cozy that Vonn and her husband/coach Tom usually spent Christmas Eve in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, with it--eroded to such an extent that Hoefl Riesch took shots in Vonn insatiable German media.
"You like it?" Vonn said, chuckling. "It's always interesting."
Currently, interesting storylines are located on the Hill.
Vonn, 27, entered the 2011-12 season World Cup quite successfully attack, winning the giant slalom for the first time in his career World Cup season's first event in Soelden, Austria, becoming just the fifth woman and the first American to win the event in all five alpine disciplines.
It's actually kind of good, "Vonn said its new thinking. "It's a nice change, and I love kind, being the underdog so to speak, and chasing after someone. This is a cool feeling. I think it's definitely more motivation. I definitely feel like I have more fire than I had in the past few seasons. "
Vonn said she mentally refreshed after the fall of the short Last season. She entered the final months of Hoefl-216 PTS Riesch in the overall standings, but regained the lead with two races left, only to lose in the penultimate event. Hoefl-held the title the last Riesch race of the season, a giant slalom, was cancelled due to bad weather in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
"I feel sometimes I ski to protect something," said Vonn. "You don't ski free. You ski, as if you're holding something, but doesn't really have anything. You need to ski to get it. "
Vonn attacked its Hoefl-Riesch issue, talking through their differences, "she said and agreed not to take their personal relationship to the public feed anymore.
And for the record, "she said, RSVP report is bogus.
"I did not go," she said. "She knew that I won't. I wrote her a letter and explained everything, but she knew before that. "
Vonn said she and Hoefl-Riesch "are friends so far," said this summer at the training session in New Zealand and decided to pull out their relationship back into the private sphere.
"Our views still differ, but Lindsey recognizes certain things, and this is the end of this story for me, '' Hoefl Riesch told The Associated Press."... We'll focus on our sport now. Lindsey is a rival to me like everyone else.
"We were both disappointed with how things went last season, only in terms of handling things with mass media. We think that this should be a story. Should be on our skis, not all tabloid drama ".
It will be difficult, considering how public they did this in the past and the fact that Vonn expects Hoefl-Riesch be her main rival for the Championship.
"I think that Mary is, of course, the skier to beat this year," said Vonn. "There are many other young girls who are coming up as well, a lot of really able to skiers--[world giant slalom champ] Tina maze and Lizzy Goergl, [who was third in Soelden] and several other girls. I think it will be interesting and probably another tight race. "
Vonn--who said that its purpose is to ski until 2015 year Championship in her hometown of Vail, Colo., then evaluate the female 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea--was a controversial figure because of its frankness and its success. She gets it. She did not regret it. But she feels.
Vonn marked the complainant to discuss her injuries, allegedly an alibi, and perform the course conditions and their possible impact on its performance. It was a critical influence on weather conditions at Whistler Creekside course at the Olympic Games in Vancouver in 2010, after a crash and losing chances for a gold medal in the Super combined. Its point, however, was supported by the Twitter team Ted Ligety, who said that the course was "in terrible conditions."
"I definitely think some criticism, at least, is unjust, '' Vonn said."... I've always been very open with the media. I tell people injuries that I have and I think maybe I was a little too open sometimes. It definitely hurts me when I see things written about me that are negative, but I also learned to not take to heart and focus on my work and ski the best I can. "
Although her suffering does not normally reach main points prior to the Olympic years, they are Grist in Europe, in particular in Germany due to her friendship and rivalry with Hoefl-Riesch. Vonn said fluent German apparently did not prevent any misinterpretation. Among the reports last season was that Hoefl Riesch was offended that Vonn did not congratulate her and enough under its Cup Championship.
"Absolutely, absolutely not true," said Vonn. "It's quite comical, some things they're imagination. I know what happened, and I try not to take to heart. "
