1:03Now PlayingIn this emotional moment, Lindsey Vonn reveals the personal motivation behind her relentless comeback despite numerous crashes and surgeries. When asked why she continues racing after devastating knee injuries, Lindsey shares the story of her mother's stroke during childbirth—an injury her mom could never physically recover from.
That experience shaped Lindsey's entire approach to setbacks. She feels a responsibility to fight back, to do what she loves, and to pursue her dreams—because her mother couldn't. Now that her mom has passed away, Lindsey feels that inspiration even more strongly. She knows her mother would be so happy to see her following her heart and dreams, and that gives her the energy to keep pushing forward.
While her family wasn't thrilled about her continuing after so many crashes and trips to the operating room, Lindsey had the opportunity to fight back—and she took it. This is what drives the 41-year-old ski legend as she prepares for what will be her final Olympics in Cortina.
