Lindsey Vonn and French skier Matthieu Bailet seen together in New York

U.S. ski champion Lindsey Vonn, 41, was photographed in New York City alongside 30‑year‑old French speed skier Matthieu Bailet. The pair were spotted shopping in Soho, riding the subway, and later backstage at the Broadway musical "The Outsiders" on May 10. A source quoted by People Magazine said they are "getting to know each other better." Vonn, who has been recovering from an Olympic‑run crash and recently attended the Met Gala without crutches, has been single since her split from businessman Diego Osorio last year.

The sightings have fueled media speculation about a possible romantic link between the former Olympic gold‑medalist and the French skier, who has one World Cup podium to his name.
