Reflecting on how important it is to her, Lindsey Vonn wrote a long post that began on an excited note: “Finally got to go skiing with my friend Roger…yes @rogerfederer.” But there was even more excitement, when another star from the tennis world spoke up.

Meanwhile, celebrity model Ashley Graham, who was enjoying a ski trip with Vonn, added: “What a fun week!” While Vonn was quick to point out: “Best week ever!!” However, the excitement quotient doubled as a former soldier took part. Bear Grylls, a former British SAS soldier, couldn't contain his excitement as he wrote: “So beautiful.” Vonn had to take care of it as she had been linked to Grylls in the past.

In 2016, Vonn participated in Running Wild with Bear Grylls, a reality television series about survival skills.

After crossing a deep abyss, they ate a dinner of sea urchins. Due to both of their adventurous sides, Vonn quickly made her intentions clear: “I missed you out there. Let's go next time!” Are we sensing more news here? That lies in the future. The anticipation is high for now, as fans look back on Vonn's performance with the tennis virtuoso.
