In the statement, Lindsey said she was ‘proud’ to have never undergone any sort of plastic surgery as she reflected on all the ‘ruthless comments’ that have hurt her.
‘I’ve posted quite a few swimsuit pics lately, which is scarier than it seems,’ she began. ‘Even as an athlete there are ruthless comments and media stories that tear apart my body and I admit it sometimes hurts me.
‘I’m a normal person and sometimes I slouch, my stomach folds over, my cellulite shows on my butt, or I don’t fill out my swimsuit top just right….But, I always remember how my body has helped me achieve amazing things in my life and I am proud of how strong I am.
‘I’m not a size zero and that’s perfectly fine with me. One thing I can promise all of you is that I never Photoshop my photos and am proud to officially never had any plastic surgery of any kind.

‘Neither of us are really worried about when we’re going to get married,’ Vonn commented. ‘We know it’s gonna happen, so we’re not in a rush about it.’
