One of the most successful female downhill racers in history pleaded with the International Ski Federation yesterday to allow her to compete against men.

Lindsey Vonn first made the request in 2012 but was turned away, with the federation saying that “one gender is not entitled to participate in races of the other.”

However, Vonn is currently coming up with a proposal with US Ski Team alpine director Patrick Riml for the 2018 World Cup, which is raced at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada.
