Vonn
Lindsey Vonn, you're my new idol.
You rocked the cover of Sports Illustrated, bared it in the swimsuit issue and laid it out at 65mph on the downhill today, taking gold. You looked pretty jangly in the starting gate but you hit it like a bat out of hell. And then you screamed and cried with emotions pent up - the pressure, the injuries, the euphoria, the relief - and I screamed and cried with you, albeit on my couch in my jammies. And damn if you weren't wearing eyeliner that didn't run. Beauty, strength, commitment and savvy make-up application. I want to be you when I come back stronger and more determined in my next life.

How come I never knew about ski racing growing up? That's got "big girl" written all over it! My peeps! Big, strong, powerful girls ripping down mountains unchecked and balancing just on the edge of control. Mom? What the heck? All those hours I spent sucking at soccer and softball? Agh. Next life.
Oh wait, next life is World Mogul Tour. Next next life - Lindsey Vonn.
