The blonde stunner has rarely shied away from sharing bikini picturesCredit: Instagram, @lindseyvonn She will appear at a FIFTH Winter Olympics next month and stoked up excitement among fans by joining in with the viral ‘2016’ trend.
Vonn shared a series of throwback pictures from ten years ago, including one particular photo that set pulses racing.
The glamorous skiier shared a picture of herself posing on the beach wearing nothing but a body-painted bikini.
The photo came from a shoot with Sports Illustrated and she also included a video of her doing chin-ups in the same revealing ‘outfit’.
The body paint bikini, which was coloured in turquoise and black, was admired by tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, who also featured in the shoot.
Wozniacki said: “Our body paint shoot!! Also, you haven’t aged a day!!!”
Fans joined her in raving over the blonde stunner, as one called her “amazing”.
Another added: “Lindsay is more beautiful than ever, truly magnificent!”
One said: “Chin-ups in body paint. I mean, what can you not do?”
A fourth wrote: “How do you not age?!”

Vonn also included memories of her best skiing victories from that year, as well as an appearance at the Emmys and wearing a low-cut top on a night out.
With the Winter Olympics just a few weeks away, Vonn grabbed another accolade by sealing an 84th World Cup win in Zauchensee, Austria.
Vonn – who had a setback after her skiing equipment was stolen – is confident she can add to her three medals at Milano Cortina next month.
Vonn, who had knee surgery in 2023, told Eurosport: “I know my limits really well; I’m really in balance. I can play with things a little bit more.
“I can play with the line, play with my tactics. I know exactly where I am, what I want to do, and my body is responding the way I want it to.
“I’m strong; I can pull a tight radius or I can make a long-radius turn. Whatever I want to do, I can do it.
“That’s an amazing feeling, because my body hasn’t always been responding that way for me in the past, so now it’s a whole other ball game.
“It feels amazing, and I try to enjoy every second I’m out here because it’s just so fun to go fast!”
