.lindseyvonn, who has IOC president Thomas Bach’s 'admiration,' will join the Salt Lake City delegation in Lausanne, Switzerland.
. Vonn first competed in the Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002 and she currently lives in Park City.
“The best part of my role is when I get to call the athletes and ask them to be a part” of the Olympic bid process, Raney-Norman said. “And she was instantaneously, ‘Absolutely! How can I be involved? This is something I’m passionate about.’ Vonn, 37, won’t need many introductions at IOC headquarters, and not just because of her celebrity status. IOC President Thomas Bach invited Vonn, who retired in 2019, to join him in thanking the people of South Korea during the closing ceremony for the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang. In 2015, he expressed admiration for her determination after she won four World Cups in her return from a knee injury that kept her out of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
Those are the qualities the local delegation, which also includes Nubia Peña, the director of the Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs, and Utah Games advisor Darren Hughes, will try to talk up during their June 13-16 visit.
