Lindsey Vonn: This will be my final season, record or not
NEW YORK — Lindsey Vonn said Thursday that the 2018-19 season will definitely be her final one as a ski racer, even if she does not break Ingemar Stenmark‘s World Cup wins record.
Vonn has 82 victories, four shy of Stenmark’s record.
“If I get it [the record], that would be a dream come true,” Vonn said before a speaking event for Chase in Manhattan. “If I don’t, I think I’ve had an incredibly successful career no matter what. I’m still the all-time winningest female skier.”
Vonn thought this spring and summer about continuing on to 2019-20 if she doesn’t reach the record this season. In the end, her lengthy injury history made the decision for her.
