“I think that it changes everything. I think there are a lot of people that thought that I would never be back and I would never be successful again – and I think that I proved to myself, and to them, that I still deserve to be here, no matter if I will be 41 at the next Olympics," she told CNN.

She continued,

“I cried. I think that (podium) was the hardest I’ve ever cried after a race because it just was so emotional and it meant so much to me – and, actually, I’m going to put it next to my Olympic medal because that’s how much it means to me.

Vonn's health and fitness book, 'Strong Is the New Beautiful,' which was released in 2016, and her memoir, 'Rise: My Story,' published in 2022, both became New York Times bestsellers.
