While vacationing in Mexico, Olympic skiing superstar Lindsey Vonn made a strange comparison. She linked skiing and yachting.
While out on a boat, Vonn used just five words to describe the experience: “fast, free, powerful, calm, and fearless.”
Vonn shared that being on the water felt like flying down a mountain. The yacht moving through the waves, the wind, and being surrounded by nature reminded her of how intense skiing can be.
Vonn said both activities have speed and peace. It’s an exciting moment that is controlled and connected to nature. She loves the feeling of freedom whether she is on water or snow.
Her thoughts got people talking, with many liking how she compared her sport and travel experiences. Her five-word description started discussions online about how extreme sports and fancy vacations are alike.
Vonn’s Mexico trip is still getting attention. It shows how vacations can bring back the passion that athletes had when competing.
