Legendary alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes in the sport’s history, recently shared her picks for the top 10 skiers of all time. The four-time overall World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist included a mix of iconic names and modern stars who have shaped competitive skiing.
Among her selections were legends like Ingemar Stenmark, whose 86 World Cup victories remain a benchmark for excellence, and Annemarie Moser-Pröll, a six-time overall World Cup champion known for her dominance in the 1970s. Vonn also recognized contemporary greats, including Marcel Hirscher, who amassed eight consecutive World Cup titles, and Mikaela Shiffrin, the current torchbearer of skiing greatness with multiple records to her name.
Vonn emphasized not only competitive achievements but also each athlete’s impact on the sport, praising their skill, longevity, and ability to inspire future generations. “These skiers have pushed the boundaries of what’s possible on the slopes, redefining greatness in their eras,” Vonn said during the announcement.
As a trailblazer herself, Vonn’s list reflects her deep appreciation for the sport’s rich history and the athletes who continue to elevate its global profile. Her acknowledgment of both past and present stars highlights skiing’s evolution and the enduring legacy of its champions.
