My new awareness of Lindsey Vonn

Lindsey Vonn is an odds-on favorite for a couple of gold medals at the upcoming Vancouver Olympics. Now, Olympic skiing has been notoriously fickle about allowing medal favorites to get medals; while she's been doing great on the World Cup circuit, that doesn't mean she'll get the wins in the pressure-cooker of the Olympics, even if she deserves to. Olympic gold medals are won and lost in the space of tenths of seconds; she could have a great day and finish fourth, just because three other skiers have slightly greater days on the day that counts.

I hope she gets at least one. She's tough, she's paid the time and paid the dues in injuries and dedication.

The thing is; until I saw the linked Dick's commercial, I had not realized what a looker she is. I mean, this is usually what she looks like when watching sports:
