By Amy Kaplan
Will Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn be making another trip to the Olympics this year?
Former Olympic Gold medalist Lindsey Vonn will be competing at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea this month.
Vonn was thrust into the spotlight after making her Olympics debut at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah at just 17-years-old and quickly became a household name after dating golfing legend Tiger Woods.
Now, at 33 years-old she may be competing in her final Olympics.
In 2013, Vonn suffered a knee injury which kept her from the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, this will be her first appearance on the Olympics platform since that injury.
