Lindsey Vonn is making history by re-entering the Olympic race at 40 years old. It is unheard of, but thanks to modern science, she's managed to become some kind of bionic woman and in being a bionic woman, age doesn't really become a factor, since all the equipment is brand new and state of the art.
She is making a big fuss about her re-entering the Olympic race at 40 years old, because it's a marketable moment that keeps her sponsors paying, and that keeps her relevant in their eyes.
That doesn't take away from her historical and record breaking career, she is a credible team USA member and it is possible that she finds a way to medal after all these years, based on experience alone.
It just means that there's a lot of marketing and hype needed to maximize this kind of thing, which is why she is doing a media tour about her return to the sport.
It makes the Olympics interesting, it makes Vonn more interesting. Otherwise, she'd just be phased out as new ski talent replace her. Luckily, that doesn't happen in this social media based world. Instead, they have us all rooting for her.
Maybe the pressure of the fans will be enough to carry her across that finish line, in the meantime, we'll be watching her media tour thanks to the skimpy outfits she wears!
