Magdalena Neuner is a German biathlete. She is currently one of the biggest names in this sport. Magdalena, born February 9, 1987, started biathlon when she was 9 years old and made her debut in the World Cup in 2006. Neuner made her first steps to becoming a legend in season 2007-2008, when she became the youngest Overall World Cup winner in the history of biathlon. Breaking the records continued in 2008, when she won three titles and became the youngest six-time world champion.

At the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Magdalena Neuner has won a gold medal (in the pursuit) and a silver one (in the sprint race).

So here she is – Lacy Schnoor for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit…

Lindsey Vonn, 25, is a skiing girl from USA. She is the first American woman to win back-to-back overall World Cup championships, and even more – she did it twice in both 2008 and 2009. Lindsey have 31 World Cup wins in four disciplines, and 2 gold medals from World Championships, which makes her the most successful American woman skier in World Cup history.
At the 2006 Winter Olympics she was very unlucky and didn’t achieve anything significant. The Vancouver Olympics 2010 are her 3rd Winter Olympics, and Lindsey Vonn is one of the biggest hopes and favorite to win three gold medals. Unfortunately, earlier this week she revealed that she had a bruised shin, the most excruciating injury in her career. It will be very difficult for Lindsey, however, Vonn is expected to compete.

Luckily, the injury did not prevent Lindsey to pose for Sports Illustrated. Enjoy this beautiful photosession! ;-)
