Alpine skiing legend Lindsey Vonn has marked a poignant milestone in her illustrious career by appearing on the cover of the last-ever US edition of The Red Bulletin, Red Bull’s lifestyle magazine. The 41-year-old Olympic gold medalist, who is gearing up for another competitive season following her remarkable comeback, expressed profound gratitude to her longtime sponsor in a heartfelt social media post.
“Red Bull has been by my side every step of my career,” Vonn wrote on Instagram. “From a rookie teenager to a 41-year-old veteran. Even now, they are just as supportive a force as they ever have been. For that, I will always be grateful.”
Vonn, who signed with Red Bull in 2005, celebrated 20 years with the brand earlier this year. The partnership has endured through triumphs, injuries, her 2019 retirement, and her stunning return to World Cup racing in recent seasons. In the exclusive interview accompanying the cover shoot, Vonn opens up about her mindset and expectations heading into the upcoming winter season, as she continues to defy age and odds on the slopes.
To celebrate the feature, Vonn surprised fans by hosting a slopeside pop-up newsstand at Copper Mountain, Colorado, handing out copies of the magazine personally. The event underscored her enduring connection with Red Bull and her enthusiasm for engaging with the skiing community.
