Clearly, World Champion skiing skills don’t translate indoors.
Despite the 85 gold medals in skiing to her name,Lindsey Vonnjust wasn’t able to catch a pregnantAshley Grahamas the two battled it out on the indoor ski erg during a fun joint workout.
Graham celebrated beating Vonn not just once, but twice, on her Instagram Story after their workout. The supermodel, 31,who announced her pregnancy in August, shared videos of her winning workout and a little post-gym gloat.
“That’s right, I beat Lindsey Vonn on the ski erg TWICE. But she still beat me at literally everything else,” she said with a laugh. “You’re still the pro athlete, Lindsey!”

The ever-competitive Grahamthen jokingly shared her frustration that she couldn’t catch Vonn during the rest of the workout.
“Grr. It’s not a competition! But it still is,” Graham said.
Meanwhile, Vonn, 34, gamely admitted defeat onher own Instagram page.
And their trainer, Kira Stokes, cheered on both women.
“@lindseyvonn&@ashleygrahamBOTH deserve a gold medal for today’s stellar session 🥇💪🏼,”she wrote on Instagram. “… Forever grateful to have the chance to work with such inspiring women.”
Graham is a frequent gym-goer, and loves boxing, HIIT and weightlifting classes. She’s kept up her workouts throughout her pregnancy — even thoughshe’s struggled to find maternity workout pants.
“Please send help! Need pregnancy workout pants that go above my belly and are durable!” she begged her followers.

And Vonn is getting back to working out again aftershe retired from skiing in Feburary, and aftera difficult leg surgerytwo months later. Vonn had put off surgery to finish out her last professional season, and the damage to her “completely” torn LCL, or lateral collateral ligament, was worse than expected.
“Unfortunately since I put off surgery I had more damage than expected,” she said in April. “I had an additional meniscus tear and needed chondroplasty of my knee cap.”
But surgery went well, and after months of recovery and physical therapy, Vonn is back in the gym battling supermodels like Graham andher new fiancé, the NHL’s P.K. Subban.
