-Delile
Emuva ngoNovemba, iMelika yabuka ngokwethuka njengesikebhe sezindondo zegolide nezindondo Lindsey Vonn yaphahlazeka ngesikhathi sokuzijwayeza, idiliza kabusha i-ACL esanda kulungiswa futhi yaqeda ithemba layo lokunqoba okuphindayo kulo nyaka eSochi. U-Vonn uhoxile eMidlalweni waphinde wahlinzwa edolweni, wabe eseqala ukusebenzela ukululama kwakhe.
Kusukela lapho uVonn ubelokhu engahlali obala, yize lokho sekuzoshintsha: Kanye nomdlali webhola lezinyawo Kelly O'Hara nomculi we-American Ballet Theatre Misty Copeland, uVonn unikeze izwi lakhe (kanye nomzimba wakhe we-rockin') emkhankasweni omusha wabesifazane we-Under Armour, I Will What I Want. (Ube ngumsubathi we-UA cishe iminyaka eyishumi.) Maduze nje uzobona ubuso bakhe ezikhangisweni ezinhle kakhulu, ezinamandla zamantombazane zomkhankaso-nangokubuyela nasemathambekeni e-ski.
Sihlangane noVonn izolo emcimbini wokwethulwa ngokusemthethweni kwe-I Will What I Want eNew York City, lapho abelane khona ngezingqinamba zakhe zakamuva, uhlelo lwakhe lokuqeqesha njengamanje, kanye nenhloso yakhe yeNombolo 1 yekusasa.

ILindsey Vonn (LV): Bengilokhu ngicindezela kanzima ejimini kulezi zinyanga ezimbili ezedlule, ngisebenza kabili ngosuku, izinsuku eziyisithupha ngesonto. Isikhathi eside angikwazanga ukwenza okuningi ngedolo lami ngaphandle kokuzivocavoca okuyisisekelo okuhlukahlukene kokunyakaza, ngakho-ke ngagxila ekushayeni umzimba wami ongenhla kanzima-ukudonsa okuningi. Ukushushuluza kungumzimba ongaphansi kuka-70/30 uye emzimbeni ongaphezulu, kepha leyo mizuzwana yokuqala eyi-10 yanoma yikuphi ukugijima kuyizingalo. Ngisebenza kanzima kulezi zibhamu!
Umumo: Ukhulume ngokuthi ijubane elihamba kancane lokuvuselelwa lingakhungathekisa kanjani. Yini ekusize wadlula kukho?

Lokhu kulimala okubili kokugcina kungihlukumeze kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kodwa lokho kungenza ngizimisele kakhulu njengoba ngazi ukuthi ama-Olympics ami alandelayo cishe azoba ngowokugcina.
Umumo: Wake wakucabanga ukuthatha umhlalaphansi ngenkathi ungekho emithambekeni?
I-LV: Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ukube ngenze kahle kule midlalo yama-Olimpiki edlule bengizothatha umhlalaphansi ngo-2015 ngemuva koMqhudelwano Womhlaba Ozayo. Kepha njengoba bekufanele ngiphume, ngazi ngokushesha ukuthi sengikuyo eminye iminyaka emine. Ngakho-ke kuvele ukuthi ngizoba semdlalweni engiwuthandayo isikhathi eside kunalokho ebengikuhlelile, okuyinto empeleni into enhle kakhulu.
Umumo: Ngaphandle kwama-Olympics ka-2018, yiziphi ezinye zezinhloso zakho esikhathini esizayo esiseduze?
I-LV: Ukuze ube umshushuluzi omkhulu kunabo bonke. Ngidinga kuphela ukunqoba okungaphezulu kane ukwephula irekhodi lesikhathi sonke, ngakho-ke yilokho engigxile kukho kuqala. Ngiqala ukushushuluza futhi ngo-Okthoba 1 bese ngincintisana ngoDisemba, bese iWorld Championship izobanjelwa edolobheni langakithi iVail ngoFebhuwari. Lokho kuzoba ukubuya kwami okukhulu.
