Lindsey Vonn wished her late mother, Linda Krohn, on Mother's Day in a heartfelt Instagram post. Vonn returned from retirement at the 2024-25 Alpine Skiing World Cup, winning a silver podium in the Super-G finals, her first World Cup podium in seven years.
Vonn always had her mother, Linda Krohn, cheer on her from the sidelines during her races. The latter suffered a stroke while giving birth to the alpine skier, but her resilience and strength drove Vonn to achieve great success in alpine skiing and show strength while dealing with setbacks.
In 2021, Vonn's mother was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and after a year of battling, she succumbed to the disease in August 2022. Lindsey Vonn's world came crashing down, and she has since been writing heartwarming notes for her mother on special occasions.

On May 11, 2025, the 82-time World Cup winner wished her late mother on Mother's Day with a throwback picture and a heartwarming note on Instagram. She wrote,
"Happy heavenly Mother’s Day Mom! Trying to focus all of the ways you were an amazing Mom and not have this day just remind me that you aren’t here anymore. I celebrate you every day Mom and I miss you even more. Love you always."
In 2022, Vonn released her book 'Rise: My Story', covering some never-before-told life stories, struggles with depression, and her path to glory. After her mother's passing, she announced the heartbreaking news in her Instagram post with an excerpt from her memoir that she dedicated to Linda.
The same year, the alpine skier was inducted into the US Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame. In the ceremony, she dedicated her induction to her mother in an emotional speech.

"Spring training camp ✔️ this is probably the first time I’ve been able do to a spring camp in over 10 years…. I’ve never been healthy enough at this time of year to do it… my how things have changed!! Thank you @visit_schwemmalm for the insane training and @dominikparisfor letting us train in your town and inviting us into your home. Your trophy case is nuts! There’s too many Kitzbühel trophies to count! Made a lot of progress with my equipment so I feel good heading into the summer training block. Now it’s time to get jacked in the gym!! LFG."
