new fansite.

I'm so sorry I didn't update the blog in the last few weeks. Had lots of things to do for school and had a lot of ski training. I also thought it would be a great idea to do a Lindsey Vonn-fansite, so I was pretty busy with that...

The site isn't completely done yet but I'll let you know when it's online! I won't close the blog but if you want to get news about Lindsey, then visit the fansite!

GAP Super G

I'm sorry I didn't update the blog in the last 2 days. I had to do a lot of things for school, because I was training with the Skiclub in Austria...therefore I missed some learning material.

On Tuesday was the Super-G in Garmisch. I couldn't unfortunately watch the race, because I was so busy with my own training...but I asked my mom to send me a text message when the race is finished.

Lindsey finished the race as 7th and I think that's a pretty good result. Certainly it's a pity she couldn't defend her Super-G title from Val d'Isére 2009 but she still has to struggle with her concussion. That's why I say it's almost perfect to finish 7th (: And I'm sure there aren’t many skiers who could do that. On tuesday evening Lindsey told us in Facebook that during her SG run it became very clearly to her she isn't completely recovered from her concussion. She said she isn't 100% and has problems with concentration and agility. This is why she decided to skip training runs and events until she feels normal again. After she finished today's DH training run as 46th her racing status is still uncertain but I read in "USA Today" Lindsey will start in tomorrow's SC, but she'll treat the first run like a training and if all goes well she'll try  to enter the SL in the afternoon. In my opinion this is a very smart decision, because Lindsey's health is the most important thing and if her concussion makes any problems on this unsafe course she should stop the race. Such a concussion is quite dangerous and unpredictable...and I don't want her to crash or to get injured again. This would be the most awful thing.

But what makes me a little more confident is that Lindsey said is feeling better today. She took yesterday completely off, just sat in a dark room and did nothing. She woke up with no headache and she said, she felt like today's training run was a pretty good step in the right direction. I'd say this sounds very good and it was absolutely great to see her smiling again after today's training run ;)

I'm sure sunday will be perfect for Lindsey, because she'll win the gold medal :) I'll keep my fingers crossed for her and root for her as always :) And she's always a winner, no matter what happens and no matter if she wins the gold medal on sunday or not...Go Lindsey! :)

Alpine Skiing World Championships & Laureus

Just watched the opening ceremony of the Alpine Skiing World Championships in Garmisch. It was a fantastic ceremony and I'm so excited about it. The light effects were awesome, Christina Stürmer's performance was absolutely great and I liked these kids who were talking about their hometown Garmisch. Only Angela Merkel's speech was a little bit strange...whatever...it was such a great atmosphere...even at home in front of my TV ;)

The only thing I'm disappointed about is the unsafe hill. Lindsey told us on Facebook today, she's very disappointed and shocked at the condition of the hill. It's very bumpy and icy pond from top to bottom. It maybe has been injected with a lot of water. Lindsey said she has never seen a course prepared like that and she fears there'll be a lot of DNF's and crashes.

I was extremely shocked when I read this and I totally agree with Lindsey. And I think it was the right decision to tell everybody about these conditions. I can't believe the FIS is so careless and wants the athletes to race on such courses. I mean, the health of the athletes is the most important thing and there were so many crashes this season...I don't know what to say...It's just careless in my opinion. Even if the FIS maybe isn't 100% at fault for these conditions...but like i said, it's still careless..

I hope so much Lindsey takes care of herself and will have safe runs! It would be the most awful thing if she crashes or get injured! On one side I'm so scared this could be too dangerous for her, because of her concussion...but on the other side I'm absolutely sure and confident she'll have great and safe runs...because she's absolutely the best ;)

In the end I want to tell you that Lindsey won the Laureus Sportswoman of the Year Award! That's so awesome and I'm so happy for her! She deserves it so much!

I wish Lindsey all the best for the world championships and I'll root for her and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her as always! I know she'll have great runs! Go Lindsey!

Lindsey's races in Zwiesel

This was a good weekend. Friday was the Slalom in Zwiesel. Lindsey decided not to race, because of her concussion, and Maria DNF'd the 1st run. So in my opinion it happened nothing spectacular ;) I think Lindsey made the right decision on Friday, because such a concussion can be very dangerous and her health is the most important thing.

Today was the GS in Zwiesel and I think it was a great one. I just watched a little summary of the 2nd run, because I also had a GS today and I could only watch the 1st run live on my coach's laptop. If you want to know, my GS wasn't perfect but still pretty good. I finished my 1st run as 8th and was 10th after the 2nd run. I'm not completely happy with my runs and I know I can do it better but I think 10th place is acceptable, especially because my knee felt a little bit unwell today.

And I think Lindsey's GS today was great, too. She did very well. When I watched the 1st run live I was really worried about her and I had a strange anxiety she could crash again. As far as I know she felt better today but I was afraid it could be too dangerous for her to race today. But I was still sure she'll do the right thing. That's one of the reasons I admire her (: She started as 16th and I was nearly freaking out while she had her run ;) I think it was a really great run, especially because of her concussion. She finished the 1st run as 14th and I was really happy about it :) 

When I watched the summary of the 2nd run I was a little bit more relaxed. Lindsey finished as 18th and she had also a great 2nd run! I know that 18th normally isn't that good...but, as you know, she had a concussion and wasn't 100%. She didn't race for a few days. For that reason it was a great performance today and I'm sure there aren't many skiers, who would race that good in such situations, like she did. She's simply the best and awesome (: Another good thing is, that Maria Riesch was 11th today so she also didn't make much points. The difference in the overall standing between Lindsey and Maria is now 156 points! That's okay in my opinion!

Now I wish Lindsey all the best for the world championships in Garmisch and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her and root for her as always (:  Hope so much I'll also race in the world championships someday (: It would be so fantastic..(:

I want to share this video with you I made for Lindsey. It's the first video I made with Windows Movie Maker so it isn't perfect. But I hope you like it!

Lindsey crashed

Lindsey had a bad crash yesterday in her GS training in Hinterreit, Austria. She slammed her head on the slope and had to got to the hospital to get a CT scan. I'm glad the scan showed no major injuries and I hope so much she's feeling well. I'm very worried about her now and I hope there's truly no head injury :(

Take care of yourself Lindsey, your healthiness is the most important thing! (:

Here is a video of the pretty horrible crash

Races in Sestriere cancelled

Okay...today's DH and tomorrow's SC are both cancelled due to the same bad weather as yesterday. It's no improvement forecast till Tuesday. I'm so sorry for Lindsey the races got cancelled and I'm sure this is very disappointing. I hope so much she isn't too sad about it. I'll update you as soon as possible when I know if they can postpone today's cancelled races...I hope so much there is any possibility...

But I'm looking forward to next races in Arber-Zwiesel. Wishing Lindsey all the best and I'm confident she'll have great runs (:

Now off to the slope...I have my first GS today and I'm so extremely nervous. My knee eventually feels better and I hope I don't crash again today. I absolutely want to win this race...or want to rank at least among the best...I think I'm really capable to have a great run, but the problem is I always put too much pressure on myself and make avoidable mistakes. Well, let's hope all goes smoothly...Before I went to Bavaria last night with my coach and the other girls, my boyfriend gave me a T-Shirt with a picture of Lindsey on it as a lucky charm...he created it on spreadshirt.com...cute idea ;)...Hope it helps me ;)

Many greets, Bianca

DH in Sestriere

That was nice...a race day without a race -.-

Today's DH in Sestriere was cancelled due to thick fog. After several postponements they decided to reschedule the DH to tomorrow. I hope so much for Lindsey the weather gets better and they can start the race. (:

 I too have a race tomorrow...and it would be so great if Lindsey wins and my run also works well...:) But I'm happy no matter what happens and if she wins or not. Most important is that her knee feels better and that she'll have a safe run!

The racers also got new startnumbers. Lindsey starts as 22nd! I wish her all the best and a great, fast and safe race! Keeping my fingers crossed for her as always (: Good luck, Lindsey! (:

Fitness Magazine

You can see Lindsey in the 'Fitness Magazine' in february!

2nd training run in Sestriere

Today's training run in Sestriere got canceled due to fog and snowfall. I hope the weather gets better so they can start the race tomorrow! Wish Lindsey all the best for the races on weekend and I'm keeping my fingers crossed and root for her! I hope so much her knee is feeling better! She's absolutely the best and I'm sure she'll have really great runs in Sestriere!

first Training in Sestriere

Speed-Queen Lindsey finished the first DH training in Sestriere with 1 minute 42.72 seconds  as 3rd! This is a great result and I'm happy for her she didn't crash or made serious mistakes. I was worried about her because of her near-crash in Cortina...but now I'm relieved she had this great training run. Tomorrow is another DH training and I'm sure she'll have another great run!

Looking forward to the weekend! I'm confident she'll win the races in Sestriere :)

Theres a new video online on Lindsey's Homepage. The first part of the Portrait 2011.

I really like it and want to share it with you (:

Laureus & USOC

Lindsey is a nominee for Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Award. The winner of the Award will be unveiled in a televised Ceremony staged in Abu Dhabi on 7th February 2011.

 Looking forward to it and I'll keep my fingers crossed for her that she'll get this Award!

Another joyful thing is that Lindsey won her second consecutive USOC's Sportswoman of the Year Award! I'm sure she's really excited about this and I'm so happy for her! She deserves it so much!

...

Had a 3 hour workout today at the Skiclub. It was surprisingly great and my knee feels a little bit better today. Next week is my first race since 2 years. I'm looking forward to it but I'm incredibly nervous. It's so important to win it but I'm afraid my knee won't heal until the race...Nevertheless I'll try to win...

I think I should try this cheese-thing like Lindsey did when she had her shin injury ;)

Well, I want to share these two nice pics with you of Lindsey after winning the GS on Friday and Sunday, cause I really like them so much! 

Love this race suit...it looks so great :)

 Just found this article http://sport10.at/home/wintersport/skialpin/627080/Vonn_Die-Ausnahme?from=suche.intern.portal

Austrian expert Alexandra Meissnitzer says, she's sure that Lindsey won't win the Overall title this season. I don't know what to say about her opinion. I know Maria is in a really good shape and she's 145 points ahead Lindsey...but I believe in Lindsey and I'm sure she'll win her fourth consecutive World cup Overall title. There are still enough races left this season to overtake Maria. And Lindsey is absolutely the best...she'll manage it!

Lindsey's Super G win

Just found this video of Lindsey and her absolutely awesome 2nd Super-G win in Cortina yesterday :) When I watched this run on TV I was so nervous. I was shaking..and when she came into the finish line I jubilated so loud..I'm sure all of my neighbours could hear it ;)..Can't wait to see her racing in Sestriere next weekend :) She's the best!

And this run was really great...want to be like her...to be an alpine ski racer like her would be so fantastic :)

Hope you like this video! :)

Weekend Races

This was an really awesome speed-weekend for a Lindsey Vonn Fan like me...and surely for herself, too :)

It started with Friday's Super-G in Cortina d'Ampezzo. I unfortunately hadn't the opportunity to watch the race because I had to be at school and write this silly essay ;) When I got home the first thing I did was surfing the internet and looking if Lindsey won the race. And she did :) I was so indescribable happy and jumped up and down through the flat :) So this weekend started really great :)

Saturday's Downhill...yeah...this was a strange race ;) And it was very emotional for me...

When the first skier started racing down the slope I was still very relaxed but with every additional skier my heartbeat got faster and my nervousness grew stronger and stronger. By the time Maria Riesch started racing I nearly freaked out (to be honest, that's everytime the same but this time it was really extreme...). I don't know why but I had this stupid premonition from beginning that Maria is going to win this race. And when she came into the finish line and I saw her great racing time on my television screen I couldn't believe my eyes. I was like "Holy shit...this cannot be happening." On the one hand I realized that this racing time will be hard to beat and that Maria probably will win this race but on the other hand I was sure our Speed-Queen Lindsey is going to have a great and fast run and will beat her...

When Lindsey started my nervousness has reached a really high level ;) But I suddenly was confident again that she's going to win this because she had such a great start. Then there was this situation when she nearly had a really really bad crash. I was so shocked, nearly crying and I thought she's going to crash into the nets. But she managed it with her usual aplomb! I'm sure every other Skier would crash into the nets in such a situation but she is the Speed Queen and the best Skier ever - she continues racing down the slope and avoids a bad crash! The rest of her run was really great and in the end she finished 3rd :) I was so happy for her and very relieved she didn't crash and finished this race healthy :) And a 3rd place with such a spectacular near-crash is perfect!

I really wanted Lindsey to win this DH...that was the reason I was so nervous in the beginning...but in the end I was so indescribable glad she didn't crash and made this 3rd place...

And last but not least there was this wonderful Super-G today :) It was a crazy day...this morning I went training with some other girls from the Skiclub and with my coach. I was in a good condition this morning and I was sure I'll have a great training...but yeah...it was so terrible :( I had two silly crashes. The first crash wasn't really bad...but the second one was awful. Don't know what happened...I suddenly hadn't my Skis under control and crashed down. And now my right ankle bone and my right knee are injured...it's not a bad injury but it hurts very much. That's the second time I injured my right knee. First time was last year in Galtür, Austria with my mom. We made a little break at a mountain Restaurant and I opened my boots because they were really uncomfortable that day. When we continued skiing I forgot about closing my boots (I know, it sounds silly...but it's true ;D) and started skiing in the deep powder snow. And I don't know how but I suddenly twisted my legs and hurt my right knee because the boot wasn't closed and I hadn't any foothold...That was a bad thing...

Well, to come back to today's Super-G...I wanted to say my day started really bad because of my crash. At 11:45 we paused our training and started watching the Cortina Super-G at my coach's Laptop. Lindsey started as 18th and finished as first! She won this Super-G! I was so happy and this win really made my day! I was happy again and nearly forgot about my crash! She had such a great run and deserved this win so much! I'm so proud of my role model Lindsey! This was so awesome

Now I'm really looking forward to the next races in Sestriere and I'll keep my fingers crossed for Lindsey! She's the Speed-Queen and the best, no matter what happens!

Hope you guys have a great rest of the evening! xo, Bianca

New Blog

Welcome to my new Lindsey Vonn-Fanblog!

At first i want to say, I try to write my posts in english that everyone from every country is able to read it. But I think my english isn't very good...and I really hope you can understand all of my blog entries.

Well, my name is Bianca and I'm a 18 year old girl from Southern Germany. I learned skiing when I was almost five years old...and since that it is absolutely the most important thing in my life. I'm skiing and doing workout almost everyday...Private and in a Skiclub. Want to be such a successfull alpine ski racer like Lindsey Vonn someday. I can't exactly explain what skiing means to me...I just can say I love these feelings and these sounds when I'm speeding down the slopes and my Ski edges are slicing in the icy and hart snow, I love going fast and knowing that nobody and nothing could stop me...and I love skiing when I'm feeling bad or stressed...then it makes me to not think about any problems. As I said before - it's my life :D

And the reason why I'm doing this Lindsey Vonn Fanblog-thing is...I really like her so much! She's my role model and absolutely the best skier around the world! I don't think there is any other person who inspires me like she does! I'm always keeping my fingers crossed for Lindsey and I try to watch all of the Skiraces just to root for her!

One of my biggest dreams is to meet Lindsey someday...but I think this dream won't come true. Maybe I'm a too pessimistic person but I can't imagine that something like this could happen to me. But I'll try to keep on hoping :)

Hmmm...so I hope you guys enjoy reading my blog! Have fun! :)
