Ski hero Lindsey Vonn schusses to water park
Winter Olympic hero Lindsey Vonn is headed to this area.
The most successful American female skier ever is slated to sign autographs and hang with fans April 10 at Rapids Water Park in Riviera Beach.
The Alpine specialist, and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to boot, won one gold medal in downhill at the recent Vancouver Olympics and three consecutive World Cup championships.
But her skiing prowess isn’t the only reason why the folks at the water park are flying her in.
The water park is making a habit of inviting big time female athletes who also look good in swimsuits to usher in the season. Car racer Danica Patrick and model Kathy Ireland were there in the recent past.
“We picked Lindsey for her success,” said park spokeswoman Tina Hatcher. “She’s a great role model. Plus, she also appeared in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue (holding skis in front of her bare breasts).”
