Rise
82 World Cup wins. 20 World Cup titles. 3 Olympic medals. 7 World Championship Medals. One of the most aggressive skiers ever, Vonn offers a fascinating glimpse into the relentless pursuit of her limits, a pursuit so focused on one-upping herself that she pushed her body past its breaking point as she achieved greatness. This iconic grit and perseverance helped her battle a catalog of injuries, including nerve damage, multiple broken bones, and five knee surgeries to repair torn ligaments. Through it all, she dissects the moments that sidelined her and how, each time, she clawed her way back using an iconoclastic approach rooted in hard work—pushing boundaries, challenging expectations, and speaking her mind, even when it got her into trouble. At once empowering and raw, Rise is an inspirational look at her hard-fought success as well as an honest appraisal of the sacrifices she made along the way.
