The two champions, very close in life, spent a day on the ski slopes of the canton of Graubünden, in Switzerland, which inspired Lindsey Vonn to write a message in the form of a tribute to the champion that is Roger Federer. She shouldn’t have.
The eternal GOAT debate (“greatest of all time” in English, understand “the best player of all time”) has once again sparked an international stir on the web among the most radical tennis fans, admirers of the contenders for this title honorary names such as Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. The reason for this agitation? A publication by young retiree Lindsey Vonn (39 years old). The American skier had the audacity to award the title of GOAT to her lifelong friend Roger Federer (42), both on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). Forced to delete a first tweet in the face of the avalanche of negative reactions, the Olympic champion published a new one on X, accepting her strong opinion.
“It’s a completely subjective title. What makes someone great? The stats? The records? The impact he had on his sport? His temperament? Is it all about time? People have differences of opinion and that’s okay. My Goat may not be yours and there will always be debate, but opinions are just that, opinions and all. everyone has the right to have it,” she commented to end the controversy. The controversy arose from the publication of a video – accompanied by a long message – which immortalized a day of skiing spent in Lenzerheide, in the Canton of Graubünden (Switzerland) in the company of maestro Roger Federer, who also turns out to be a very good skier. What arouse even more jealousy?
“I have admired Roger as an athlete, philanthropist and incredible champion for so many years,” wrote (and maintained) Lindsey Vonn, on Instagram. Normally, the people you admire always disappoint you in one way or another. another, but not Roger. Roger is the epitome of a true sportsman and a champion in every sense of the word. We’ve been talking about skiing together for so long that I wasn’t sure it would happen… . But here we are, retired, skiing and enjoying life! Thanks for the memory Rog. You and your family are truly unique and no matter what the statistics say (or Leo lol) you are my eternal GOAT , because it’s not the stats that matter but the impact you had on me, and I’m just one of millions.”
