Lindsey Vonn has been chasing Ingemar Stenmark’s record of career World Cup victories for three years now, and doesn’t plan to stop until she’s topped it. She wants it for herself, the competitor in her aspiring to do something that everyone said could not be done.
And she wants it for all those little girls and young women out there, a visible, tangible reminder that they need not be second to anyone.
“I would like to be able to say and encourage young women to be the best that they can be, that there’s no limitations just because you’re a woman,” Vonn said.
