The decorated US downhill skier opens up to Katty Kay about the mental state that led her to gold medal victory and the 'hole' that's left when her mind isn't on winning anymore.
Olympic downhill skier Lindsey Vonn turns 40 this year, and like many millennials, she marks moments in her life by the technology proliferating at the time. Unlike most millennials, her biggest milestones took place on the world’s stage.
In this second episode of her Olympian-focused interview series, Influential, BBC special correspondent Katty Kay sits with Vonn to discuss her Olympic memories, her mental health and the gold medal mindset she taps into on and off the slopes.

Vonn was not yet 18 when she attended her first Olympic opening ceremony to represent the United States as an athlete at the 2002 Winter Games. Her memories of that event are shaped not just by the pink camcorder she remembers holding, but by the sentiments of her home nation in that tumultuous time.
"When I was 17 going to Salt Lake City, it was right after 9/11. It was this incredibly emotional and unifying moment for America – and for myself. I dreamed of being an Olympian since I met Picabo Street when I was nine years old, so to walk into the stadium during the opening ceremonies was so incredible," she tells Kay. "Outside of winning the gold in Vancouver [in 2010], it was the most emotional experience of my life."
That awe-inspiring entrance into her first-ever Games is only overshadowed in her memory by her win eight years later, a moment she tells Kay put her on the map in a way that felt "pretty crazy".
