I'm a real proponent for this type of messaging: that women should embrace themselves and their bodies for who and what they are (could easily apply to men too but the world is less body conscious for men).

I commented after the Olympics that I'd far rather see role models like the hockey team, Sophie Hitchen, the rowers etc who have bodies that are inspiring for what they can do than pointless "celebs" who have stupidly spelt names.

Vonn is a class apart at what she does - I think she would score points in the men's races if given a chance. If her attitude, training, etc can inspire other women to achieve their goals then I'm all for it.
