Lindsey Vonn is feeling the love. The skiing superstar took to social media to express her deep gratitude after being named to TIME Magazine’s prestigious 2026 TIME100 Sports list, calling it an inspiring moment shared with an extraordinary group of athletes.
“HONORED 🙏🏻 to be named in the 2026 TIME100 Sports List!! ❤️ To be recognized alongside so many incredible athletes is truly humbling… Congratulations to everyone included 👏🏻 What an inspiring group of people to share this moment with,” Vonn posted.
The Olympic champion reflected on her remarkable comeback journey over the past year — returning to the top of the sport after retirement, battling setbacks, and chasing dreams many thought were impossible.
“The journey wasn’t perfect. There were highs, setbacks, victories, doubts, and yes, even falls. But success isn’t about being perfect or never falling down. It’s about the journey and when you fall, having the courage to get back up. I jumped. I won. And I never stopped believing,” she shared.
At 41, the all-time leader in downhill victories continues to redefine what’s possible, inspiring fans worldwide as she eyes more glory at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
TIME’s inaugural Sports list celebrates the most influential figures shaping athletics, culture, and inspiration. Vonn’s inclusion alongside icons like LeBron James, Caitlin Clark, and others underscores her enduring impact — both as a dominant force on the slopes and a beacon of resilience off them.
Her message to dreamers everywhere? “To anyone chasing a goal that feels impossible right now, keep going. Your story isn’t finished yet.” 💪🏻
Fans are flooding her posts with congratulations, calling it a well-earned honor for a true legend whose legacy only grows brighter. From record-breaking wins to this latest accolade, Lindsey Vonn proves that greatness is about heart, hustle, and humility.
What an inspiring moment indeed. The Queen of the Slopes is far from finished — and the world is watching. ⛷️✨
