During its making, the athlete looked back on the most memorable present she gifted her father.

Pondering about it for a while, Vonn replied, “I think the most memorable thing I got him… Me and my sisters actually wrote the three best lessons my dad ever taught me. And we framed it and he seemed to like it. It’s pretty sentimental.”

However, Vonn did not always share a close bond with her father, Alan Kildow. Their relationship experienced a fair share of challenges over the years. Their relationship struggled to the point where the two were not on speaking terms.

Previously, the three-time Olympic medalist opened up regarding her strained relationship with Kildow. Vonn mentioned that their relationship suffered partly due to her father’s competitive nature.

Moreover, the four-time Olympian also mentioned her father’s obsession with coming first in an event. There is some truth about his competitive nature, evident from his reaction during the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games.

At the meet, Vonn secured the third position in the downhill event. However, Alan seemed disappointed in her performance. Kildow reflected the sentiment during an interview after the event.

During the interview, Kildow said, “It’s great skiing, but it reminds me of something that Buddy Werner used to say. He said there’s two places in the race, first and last, and I only want one of them.’’
