Lindsey Vonn is grieving the loss of her mom
OnAug 27, the Olympian required to social networks to share the heartbreaking news that her mama, Linda Krohn, has “lost her battle with ALS.”
“She passed away peacefully as I held her hand, exactly one year after her diagnosis,” she shared in an Instagram post, together with a series of throwback and current pictures of the 2 together. “I am so grateful for every moment I had with her but I am also thankful that she is no longer suffering and in peace. She was a shining light that will never fade and I will forever be inspired by her.”
Lindsey– who is the most embellished female skier of perpetuity– likewise re-shared the commitment she composed to her mom in her 2022 narrative, Rise, calling the passage, “unfortunately fitting now.”
“She is my inspiration not because of what she did for my skiing career, but how her perpetual positivity shaped me into the person I am on, and most importantly, off the slopes,” she initially composed in the book. “Every adversity I have faced, I found perspective and inspiration from her. Throughout the many hardships in her life, they only made her stronger, kinder, and more humble. That type of grit is what shaped me since I was a child; whether I knew it then or not, I know it now.”
