Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn attended a high school homecoming dance Friday night in Colorado. Her date was 16-year-old sophomore Parker McDonald.
The two met in the cafeteria at Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy, where he is a student and she was visiting. He admits it was spur of the moment, “I thought, ‘I need a date and there’s Lindsey Vonn. I’ll ask her!’ She walked by my lunch table and I whipped out the question.”
She gushed on Facebook, “When Parker asked me he was cute, nervous and very polite so of course I said YES! All through school growing up I never got the chance to go to a school dance so I’m excited.”
The alpine ski racer won gold in the Downhill during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. She also picked up gold in the Downhill and Super-G at the 2009 World Championships.
Vonn, 27, posted a number of photos on her FB page that were taken last night. Check them out below:
