1:29Now PlayingAt 41 years old, Lindsey Vonn is the oldest Olympian on Team USA's skiing roster—and she wouldn't have it any other way. In this clip, the legendary downhill racer explains why showing up for her team is so important, even when her training time is precious and limited.
Lindsey flips the age narrative on its head, explaining that being older gives her a significant advantage. She's been on the Cortina track more than anyone else in the starting gate, giving her unmatched knowledge that she plans to use strategically. She doesn't view age as a negative—it's just a different generation.
What's remarkable is the team chemistry. Despite being twice as old as her teammates, they mesh incredibly well. Different personality types are all working toward the same goal, and Lindsey is genuinely excited to compete alongside them. She's setting an example for the younger athletes, showing up for them just like they show up for her—proving that experience, wisdom, and age can be powerful competitive advantages.
