😅 Whoops, looks like we accidentally celebrated the wrong badass female athlete 💪

A few of you noticed we mistakenly included a photo of Jessie Diggins, the most decorated cross country skier in Olympic, World Championship and World Cup history, who featured in last week's email. 

We meant to include a photo of Lindsey Vonn, the oldest ever World Cup podium finisher, who is featured below in this week's newsletter. 

We hope you enjoy this story of Lindsey with the correct photo and we'll see you next week for another edition of The Feist.

Lindsey Vonn is BACK 💥 

The alpine skiing star stepped onto the podium for the first time after returning from a five-year retirement. Vonn won second place in the super-G at the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, Idaho this past weekend. She finished 1.29 seconds back from first place, 11 months before she hopes to compete in her fifth Olympics at Italy’s Milan Cortina Games. 

Vonn’s season had some ups and downs leading to this point, with crashes and equipment hiccups affecting some of her races. However, her right knee, which was partially replaced last April after big crashes earlier in her career, has stayed sound and healthy. Prior to this podium, her best finishes were sixth in a downhill and fourth in a super-G on Jan. 11 and 12.

“It’s been a rough season of people saying that I can’t, that I’m too old, that I’m not good enough anymore,” she said after the race. “I think I proved everyone wrong. This means so much to me.” 

Vonn, who is 40 years old, also shattered the record for the oldest World Cup podium finisher. It was previously held by Austrian Alexandra Meissnitzer, who made her last podium at 34 years and nearly 9 months old in 2008.

Now that's how you silence the haters.
