Mariska Hargitay Cheers On Lindsey Vonn from the Slopes Ahead of 2026 Olympics
Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay is showing her unwavering support for alpine skiing legend Lindsey Vonn as the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics draw near.
While vacationing in the French Alps with her husband, Peter Hermann, to ring in the new year, Hargitay posted a photo on Instagram from the slopes of Courchevel/Méribel—a venue famous for Vonn’s past triumphs. Dressed in full ski gear, including a neutral jacket, pants, black helmet, and gloves, Hargitay struck a triumphant pose with her arms raised and ski poles in hand.
“You can still hear the cheering here for [Lindsey Vonn’s] two season titles at Courchevel/Meribel. And yes, I’m cheering the loudest,” she captioned the January 2 post, adding heart and snowflake emojis. “I’m in awe of everything you’ve done—and everything you’re about to do.”
Vonn quickly replied in the comments: “I can hear your cheers when I ski! You’re the best! Love you,” complete with a heart emoji.
Hargitay’s enthusiasm comes as Vonn, 41, prepares for a historic return to Olympic competition after ending her retirement. The three-time Olympic medalist will compete in the downhill event this February—her first Games since 2018—while also serving as a commentator for NBC’s coverage.
Fans are thrilled about Vonn’s dual role, blending on-slope action with expert analysis.
Hargitay has a track record of rooting for Team USA, having attended multiple events at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
As the Winter Games kick off next month in Italy, celebrity support like Hargitay’s adds to the excitement surrounding Vonn’s comeback story.
