Lindsey Vonn, the 25-year-old skier from Colorado has won back-to-back overall World Cup championships and is the most successful American woman skier in World Cup history.
In the 2006 Winter Olympics accident, Vonn had to be evacuated by helicopter, where she was hospitalized. She emerged with just a bruised hip and competed the following day. Her tenacity earned her U.S. Olympic Spirit Award that year.
Lindsey Vonn graced the February issue of Sports Illustrated magazine's Winter Olympics preview which hit newsstands Wednesday, where Vonn is proclaimed "America's Best Woman Skier Ever." But her semi-provocative pose has drawn anger from those who claim that it objectifies her. As to many, Vonn is an athlete, not a sex symbol.
What do you think of her pose?
