Lindsey Vonn Advocates for Athletes' Families at 2034 Olympics

Lindsey Vonn, the celebrated alpine ski racer, is excited about the announcement that Salt Lake City will host the 2034 Winter Olympics, returning the Games to a city where she competed in her first Olympics in 2002. Vonn, who played a key role in the bid, emphasized her focus on enhancing the experience for athletes' families by establishing a dedicated family village, which will include transportation, ticketing, and accommodation support—an unprecedented initiative for the Olympics. Expressing her enthusiasm, Vonn mentioned that this is the most excited she's been since her retirement from competitive skiing. She highlighted the importance of family support during her career and aims to alleviate their logistical burdens during the Games. Vonn's efforts include the creation of the Athletes Families Initiative, which will prioritize family involvement and access to the Games. As she prepares for her role in the upcoming event, Vonn hopes to make the 2034 Olympics a memorable experience for all involved.
