The timing of Lindsey Vonn's divorce,
combined with a few other events, has led to a few rumors that she and
Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow were dating. Vonn denied that is the case,
saying she is single, and that she is friends with the Tebow family.
"I am single. I’m not with anyone,” Vonn said in response to the rumors. “I’ve heard a lot of rumors and a lot of reports.”
Vonn contributed to the rumors when she went "Tebowing" after winning a race last week. She said that was just a sign of respect for Tim.
“He’s proving them all wrong,” Vonn said of Tebow's critics. “In a
way, that’s what I’m trying to do as well — to be able to compete under
any circumstance and keep fighting and doing my best every day. Just
because I `Tebow,’ doesn’t mean I’m dating him. I said that if I won in
Colorado, I would `Tebow’ because I admire what he’s doing."
The Olympics skier watched the Broncos game Sunday from the Tebow family box. She wrote a column about the experience, and explained her relationship with the family.
A lot of people are wondering what's up with me and the Tebows. I'm
just friends with the family. I met Tim and his brother Pete at the ESPY
Awards like three or four years ago in the gym — we were working out
there. I spent more time with Tim and his brother at the V Foundation
Golf Tournament, and this year at the ESPYs.
Tim presented me with my ESPY award this year, and we kind of
chatted. I said, "If you want to come up to Vail and ski, let me know."
Robby invited me to one of their games a few weeks ago. Then we ended up
being able to race at Beaver Creek, so he came up for that last
Wednesday.
I pretty much know their whole family now. They're great people. It's
pretty awesome to be able to hang out with them — and to be able to
witness the amazing things Tim and the Broncos can do.
We could have told you that nothing was going on between Lindsey and Tim. Everyone already knows that Vonn is already taken by this young man.
