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! (:

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 (:

Sportlounge

Here is a link to the video of Lindsey at Sportlounge yesterday! I really like this interview!
It's in german...so I hope all of you can understand it!


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 :)



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!

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! :)
