Lindsey Vonn is shining on the slopes and outracing the struggles in her personal life.
The Olympic downhill champion may be going through a divorce with her husband and may be dealing with persistent rumors over who she's dating, but the distractions have hardly affected her performance on the hill.
Vonn is off to one of the best starts of her career, leading the World Cup overall standings by a whopping 482 points as she tries to claim the title back from friend and top rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany.
Over the weekend, Vonn reached yet another milestone - earning her 50th career victory during a dramatic downhill run in Germany, where she momentarily went down on her hip, only to spring back up and glide through the finish.
