Produced in conjunction with Teton Gravity Research, HBO’s feature-length documentary ‘Lindsey Vonn: The Final Season’ will recount the iconic skier’s last competitive campaign while looking back on her career, from child prodigy to decorated Olympian to global superstar, when it debuts November 26 exclusively on HBO.
Lindsey Vonn says, “I am thrilled to partner with HBO to give viewers an inside look into my career and to share my story with the world.”
Lindsey Vonn: The Final Season traces Vonn’s exhilarating story from her childhood in Minnesota, all the way to the World Championships in Are, Sweden this past February, for what proved to be the epilogue of her fabled career, as she earned bronze in her final event. Teton Gravity Research had a camera crew embedded with Vonn throughout the winter months, capturing the final, intimate moments of her skiing journey.
“Lindsey Vonn is a global icon of transformative force,” said Peter Nelson, executive vice president, HBO Sports. “No skier, woman or man, has ever exerted her influence in sport and culture – ever transcended to her stature. There are a lot of athlete documentaries today, but this film, at once heartbreaking and inspiring, takes us places unseen with an elite athlete like Lindsey, revealing the sacrifice demanded of a champion confronting her human limits to end an unparalleled career.”
