“I’m Still Looking Decent At My Age”: Lindsey Vonn Fires Back At Fan Accusing Her Of Face Treatment

Lindsey Vonn is one of the most prestigious names in skiing folklore. The Olympic medalist may have announced her retirement back in 2019, citing her injuries, but she still remains a force to be reckoned with. Currently working as a correspondent with NBC on their prime time Olympic coverage, Vonn is one of the most familiar faces from the US contingent.

However, she found herself exposed to the ugly side of Twitter when a user made a comment about her supposed surgery to enhance her facial features. But Vonn, never one to stay silent, replied in typical firebrand fashion.

The former alpine skier is one of the most highly rated athletes in the sport. Having been a part of the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, the 2006 Torino Games, the 2010 Vancouver Games and the 2018 Pyeongchang Games; her career has stretched across 2 decades.

Vonn has three Olympic medals; a downhill gold and super-G bronze from Vancouver, and a downhill bronze from Pyeongchang. And by no stretch of imagination was Vonn done. She only added to her tally with 82 World Cup wins. The most by a woman and second-best all time behind Sweden?s Ingemar Stenmark.

Lindsey Vonn fires back on Twitter

Lindsey Vonn has recently been celebrated for being vocal with her thoughts and once again she made them well known. This time, a twitter user fired an opening salvo that did not go down well with Vonn.

A twitter user tagged Vonn in a tweet to comment that it seemed as though she had had some facial work done. Going on to say, “It’s sad to see still-young women resorting to such significant facial treatments.”

Ever the queen of snow, Vonn replied in equally cold fashion. Vonn wrote, “Never done a single thing to my face. Never even done Botox. So thanks, I?ll take that as a compliment.” Even turning the tweet into a cheeky opportunity, she added, “Guess I?m still looking decent at my age.”?

Vonn turned 37 in 2021 and even though retired from competition because of her accruing injuries, she still remains one of the top athletes and most celebrated figures of winter sports.
