Lindsey Vonn Hired by NBC for Winter Olympics Coverage

Once the star of Winter Olympics broadcasts, Lindsey Vonn will now be featured on the other side of NBC's Olympic coverage as a primetime correspondent for the 24th Winter Games in Beijing.

Vonn, 37, won three Olympics medals in her career, including women's downhill gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Considered one of the most accomplished skiers ever with 82 World Cup victories, Vonn retired in 2019 due to various injuries.

“I’m excited to kind of give a different perspective,” Vonn told NBC Sports in a statement. “I think Michael Phelps was such a good addition to the Summer Games [as a correspondent in Tokyo], and I hope that I can bring the same perspective to the Winter Games.
