Although Lindsey previously said she wouldn’t retire until breaking the record for most World Cup wins, she’s since changed her mind.

“This is going to be my last season. Definitely retiring after this year. If I could break the record that would be amazing, if I can’t it has been a great ride and I am still the most successful female and I still think that’s something to be really proud of,” she said.

Lindsey has won 82 World Cup races in her career, and is considered the most successful American ski racer.
