Lindsey Vonn poses important question to Coco Gauff as reigning Roland Garros champion enjoys Floridian flora and fauna

Lindsey Vonn fired a question to Coco Gauff as she soaked in Floridian flora and fauna during tennis downtime before heading to the US Open in August. Vonn recently celebrated her skiing career with Red Bull, her long-standing partner for over two decades.

Lindsey Vonn, the skier with 82 World Cup wins in her repertoire, overturned her retirement and competed at the 2024/25 Alpine Skiing World Cup, winning her first Super-G podium in seven years. Following the season, the 40-year-old has consistently shared her workout routine on social media, gearing up for the 2026 Winter Games in Cortina.

She even attended the premiere of the American sports drama, F1, and led the proceedings of the 2025 Laureus Sports Awards. Besides her busy schedule, Vonn has never missed sending love and admiration to her fellow women athletes. But this time, she posed a question to the reigning Roland Garros champion, Coco Gauff, who posted a carousel of pictures, enjoying flora and fauna in Florida.

In the caption, the latter revealed her zodiac sign, Pisces, and captioned:

"just a floridian pisces in her natural habitat"

Since the 21-year-old spent a significant time swimming, boating, and bonding with nature, Linsey Vonn asked whether she spotted manatees, an animal commonly found in Florida.

"Did you see any manatees?"

Lindsey Vonn has been skiing since a tender age and made history at the 2010 Winter Olympics, where she won the first downhill gold for an American woman. Vonn has not only inspired generations with her flair on the slopes but also with her philanthropic and leadership roles beyond. After her monumental win at the World Cup edition in 2024/25, she talked about her high chances of executing her best in Cortina.

“I always knew that I could, but I think that it just gives me a lot of confidence going into next year. I have a lot of work to do still. I have had very few opportunities in my life to race a speed event in the United States, and so I wanted to maximise that opportunity. And I think that also gives me confidence going to Cortina and knowing that I can perform when the pressure is high, I still have what it takes. And of course I have to qualify, but after today, I feel really optimistic about my chances." (via Olympics.com)
