I found these 2010 Olympic Promo photos of Linsey Vonn and they are ok but I don't think they are at all spectacular by any means.

LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 13: Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn poses for a portrait during the NBC/USOC Promotional Photo Shoot on May 13, 2009 at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles, California.

The more I think about it I do not like these photos at all. They look so phony with the fake snow and all.

They would have been better off going to Mammoth or Timberline and get some real outdoor action shots. Plus they could have got shots of her working out also.

A 2-time overall world cup champion deserves much better than this.

I was going for the fact that the photos were classy, but that works too.

Yep but this is a classy woman , fine looking with a brain in her head too and skiing ability that is unrivaled in her gender .

Her ability to focus and commit to training with few distractions is simply a model that others in the sport AT THAT LEVEL could/should. emulate . Obviously i am a fan of hers ON MANY LEVELS

Found a couple of rare photos of Lindsey with her actual downhill and super G race skis.
You can see how long they are for shear speed and stability. Full on race skis.

(The rossignol ski technicians always grab the race skis at the finish and substitute by handing the competitor a pair of much shorter & wider GS type skis for all photos. The kind of skis sold to the general public.)

Get used to seeing ALOT more photos of Lindsey in 2010 promo stuff for NBC in the coming months, since at this moment in time she IS argueably the premier female athlete that will be heading to the olympics for the entire US olympic team, and I'm not just talking ski team. Add in Shaun White and now you're likely talking the 2 most heavily used US athletes to market the games in the coming months, and I know who of those 2 I'd rather look at ;) :flag:
