Skier Lindsey Vonn Hasn’t Been Retired Long. Now She’s Going Into The Colorado Sports Hall Of Fame

Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn will be inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

In 2010, she became America's first women's downhill Olympic champion. She retired in February as the winningest women’s world cup skier of all time.

The other inductees include former Rockies GM Bob Gebhard, track star Alonzo Babers, former DU hockey coach George Gwozdecky, top high school running back Terry Miller, and Paralympic swimmer Erin Popovich.
