Thirty-two-year-old champion skier says that one of her priorities before retiring is to race against male participants in a World Cup event
Skiing champ Lindsey Vonn has men on her mind. The 32-year-old four-time overall World Cup champion skier, who is in the twilight of her career, has scribbled her future goals on a calendar ahead of the start of the season in November. There are three priorities listed on that sheet.

The first is to break Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark's World Cup wins record of 86. Vonn is currently on 77. The second is to defend her downhill crown at the Winter Olympics in South Korea and finally, and one of the most important goals set by the American is to compete against the men in a World Cup race. This, of course, is subject to the International Ski Federation (FIS) approving her plan. "All the men say 'We don't think she's going to beat us,' which is what they're going to say, and also that, 'It will be great for our sport.' So, what's the harm? Hopefully, we're able to accomplish it before I retire," said the 32-year-old ace skier.
