Captain Marvel and Captain America are back in the public eye well ahead of May’s Avengers: Infinity War and 2019’s Captain Marvel as the US Olympic ski team dons the iconic costumes of the superheroes for their runs in Pyeongchang.
Check out gold medal-winning ski legend Lindsey Vonn wearing Cap’s stars and stripes. Vonn is trying to get back on the winning track after injuries derailed much of her 2014 Olympic campaign.
Looking good as @CaptainAmerica, @lindseyvonn! 🌟 And a huge thanks to @spyderactive for these amazing suits. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/2aYrnNzoTg

In 2010, she won the gold medal in the appropriately superheroic downhill race (you need knees and senses enhanced by gamma rays to excel in the downhill) and won the bronze in the Super-G. She’s dedicating this Olympics, which will be her last at 33 years old, to her late grandfather. Saying she’s going to win for him.
"I'm going to win for him." ❤️@lindseyvonn got choked up talking about her grandfather's influence over her skiing. #olympics pic.twitter.com/EgQYyYlvVm

Anyway, as long as we’re on the subject of Winter Olympics fashion, why did they decide to go with the gloves made famous in Dumb and Dumber if the theme is superheroes?
It’s like a @RalphLauren boy band full of freeski slopestyle Olympic medal potential. pic.twitter.com/kgmF1zo7g8

The Captain Marvel suit looks almost exactly how it will when Brie Larson puts it on. Oh, and are we going to see Captain Marvel in Infinity War or what? It looks perfect. Hopefully, the awesomeness on display can translate to medal domination.
