From the coming season, Norwegian ski icon Aksel Lund Svindal will step in as her trainer.
I'm so glad to finally be able to announce that Aksel Lund Svindal is joining my team, says Vonn in a post on Instagram.
For Vonn, who made a notable comeback last winter after putting the skis on the shelf in 2019, it's an important step in the build-up to the Olympic Games in Milano and Cortina.
Our careers have been intertwined for a long time and we have a fantastic friendship, continues the 40-year-old.
Svindal, who himself ended his active career in 2019, is one of Norway's biggest ski profiles of all time. The list of merits includes, among other things, two Olympic Games gold medals and several World Championship titles.
