Lidnsey Vonn dominated the World Cup general rankings in 2008 and 2009, as well as the World Championships in 2009, with two titles, in downhill and Super G.

With the Vancouver Olympic Games ahead, 2010 seemed promising, with five consecutive victories in downhill, alongside four other victories in Super G and combined. However, a week before the Vancouver Games, a fall injured Lindsey Vonn's tibia and stopped her in her tracks. But she knew how to cope with it, and had no intention of leaving Canada without a medal.

The postponement of the races because of bad weather allowed her to recover, and, on 17 February, she confidently launched herself through the starting gate for the downhill. On the very technical Franz's Run course, she flaunted all her talent. This time, she did it - she became Olympic champion.
