LINDSEY VONN JOINS NBC SPORTS’ ALPINE SKI COMMENTARY TEAM THIS WEEKEND

January 21, 2021 By admin

Vonn Joins Dan Hicks For a Pair of Alpine Skiing Telecasts This Saturday and Sunday on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA

STAMFORD, Conn. – Jan. 21, 2021 – Lindsey Vonn, the winningest woman in alpine skiing World Cup history, will join NBC Sports’ alpine skiing telecasts this Saturday and Sunday on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA. Vonn makes her on-air debut as an analyst with NBC Sports’ lead alpine skiing commentator Dan Hicks for the women’s downhill and Super-G events in Crans Montana, Switzerland.

Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA presents live coverage of the women’s downhill Saturday at 4 a.m. ET with an encore presentation in the afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN. On Sunday, Vonn and Hicks will call the women’s Super-G live at 6 a.m. ET on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA, with an encore presentation at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN.

“As one of the greatest skiers of all time and a superstar who has transcended her sport, we’re thrilled to have Lindsey join our team for her on-air debut this weekend,” said Molly Solomon, Executive Producer & President, NBC Olympics Production. “Known for her fearlessness, competitiveness and determination, we’re confident Lindsey will provide an unmatched perspective for our passionate ski racing audience.”

“It’s so special for me to be seeing ski racing through a different lens,” said Vonn. “I’m excited to be commentating for NBC Sports on Olympic Channel and use my expertise in the sport to add color to the stories of the incredible athletes, many of whom I competed against and know very well.”

Vonn is among the most decorated skiers of all time. Over the course of her career, she won 82 World Cup races, which is the most by a woman and second-most all time behind only Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden. Participating in four Olympic games (2002, 2006, 2010, 2018), Vonn amassed three Olympic medals, including gold in the downhill at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, where she became the first American woman to win Olympic downhill gold.

Vonn is one of only seven women to have won World Cup races in all five major disciplines of alpine skiing — downhill, Super-G, giant slalom, slalom, and super combined. She is a four-time winner of the overall World Cup title and won a women’s record 16 career World Cup discipline titles. Vonn owns two career victories at the downhill World Cup stop in Crans Montana, Switzerland, as well as a Super-G podium finish.

Three Kenyans highlight the women’s field: world record holder and defending London Marathon winner Brigid Kosgei, reigning world marathon champion Ruth Chepngetich and 2016 Olympic 5000m gold medalist and 2018 London Marathon winner Vivian Cheruiyot. Americans Molly Seidel, who earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic marathon team after finishing second at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials in February, and Sara Hall, the sixth-fastest American in marathon history, will also compete.

The race will be held on a closed-loop circuit of 19.6 laps around St James’s Park in central London, passing Horse Guards Parade and Buckingham Palace. No spectators will be allowed.
