The clipping on Instagram has been taken from the YouTube video posted on the channel New York Giants. The former professional skiing artist could also be seen having fun while teaching Manning about skiing. She showed the ropes to Manning and his co-host and told them how the skis work. Both men were stunned when they realized that the skis had no brakes. However, Lindsey Vonn didn’t leave them hanging and taught them how to stop.
Despite her teachings, Manning didn’t get a chance to use the technique for stopping. He failed to gain even a low-tier speed while Lindsey Vonn just cruised past him like a true champion. Funnily enough, the caption of the post joked about Manning defeating Vonn in the race.
