So, just like wearing a headphone to drown out excess noise or warming up before starting the course, Lindsey has also developed a pre-race ritual. Her quirks were revealed to the world after a 2016 interview. In the interview she spilled her guts, talking about her first marriage, dating Tiger Woods, and many more things. It was here she also detailed her pre-race practice.

“still visualizing courses”: Lindsey Vonn shares her ritual

As a practice, courses are visualized by athletes before the rain starts, preferably in summer. Either this or they do a simulated practice in real-time. But, for a veteran like Vonn that is never enough. She is highly competitive and one of the most recognized Alpine Skiing athletes around the globe for a reason.

So, no doubt, it is very important for her to make some big moves. In her interview, Vonn revealed that she visualizes her race course before her race, but there’s a catch. She does it in her mind! She said that the night before her race, she would go over her race course in her mind, calculating her moves.
