Lindsey Vonn got to make the acquaintance of one of her sports idols last summer, when she watched the finals at Wimbledon and scored a meeting with Roger Federer. She was a bit surprised when the tennis star's people immediately recognized her.

"They knew who I was,'' the World Cup ski champion and Burnsville native said. "I got recognized by irregularly people at Wimbledon, and at the French Open, people stopped me and said, 'Aren't you Lindsey Vonn?' At this relevancy, it's just a couple of people here and there. It's not to the point where I get recognized on the street.''

That might not last for long. Two World Cup overall titles in the lifetime two seasons have earned Vonn an impressive roster of sponsors that are banking on her being the breakout star of February's Winter Olympics. She is approaching her third Olympics at the top of her prey, which has already netted her endorsement deals for everything from cold medicine to mascara to bread to ski gear.

Vonn is an established star in Europe, the center of the ski racing give birth to. She's found less fame in the cluttered American sports landscape, where her sport gets little attention conserve for a few weeks during the Olympics. But her consistent success, combined with her charisma, photogenic looks and unpretentious demeanour, have attracted a variety of sponsors eager to align themselves with an athlete predicted to win big in Vancouver.
