Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA will celebrate two of the most distinguished U.S. Olympic winter athletes of all time — Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn — with 40 hours of alpine skiing programming from April 8-19 that highlight Shiffrin’s record-setting 2018-19 season and Vonn’s historic 15-year career.
Beginning on Monday, April 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET and continuing through April 12, the Olympic Channel will commemorate Shiffrin’s historic 2018-19 alpine skiing season with 25 hours of primetime programming. Coverage of Shiffrin’s record-setting 2018-19 season includes 20 races, including her 17 alpine skiing World Cup wins and three medal-winning performances at the FIS World Alpine Skiing Championships in Are, Sweden.
Shiffrin, only 24 years old, has amassed two Olympic gold medals, 60 World Cup victories, and is the three-time reigning overall World Cup champion. Her 2018-19 season included World Cup titles in the slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and the overall title. Her 17 World Cup victories in a single season broke Vreni Schneider’s 30-year record.
The following week, starting on Tuesday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET, the Olympic Channel will present a new series, “Lindsey Vonn: A Legendary Career.” The series spans 15 seasons, showcasing 15 hours of archival coverage and 12 of her most notable races. The extensive coverage spans from her first World Cup victory in 2004 at Lake Louise, Canada, to her final race at the 2019 World Championships in Are, Sweden, where she earned bronze in the downhill. In her momentous career, Vonn won a total of 82 World Cup races – the most by a woman and second-most all time – and earned three Olympic medals (a gold and two bronze).
