Lindsey Vonn’s Olympics Run To Continue — At Least In Figs Campaign

Lindsey Vonn’s crash and injury to her left knee during a World Cup downhill race Jan. 30 has only heightened the suspense around the 41-year-old skiing icon’s planned Winter Olympics comeback from a prior injury to her right knee.

With Vonn still scheduled to compete in one Olympics event Feb.8, and two more during the Games’ first week, she posted on Instagram that “My Olympic dream is not over….If there’s one thing, I know how to do, it’s a comeback.”

Rest assured that Vonn is getting plenty of medical attention — and that she appreciates it.

Indeed, that’s the theme of a new campaign from healthcare apparel brand Figs, which will go on as scheduled during the games.  Figs is the official outfitter of Team USA’s medical team.

In the campaign, Vonn thanks -– and co-stars with — the medical team that got her back on the competitive slopes after she had retired in 2019 and had knee replacement surgery in 2024. The cast includes not only her orthopedic surgeon, but a nurse practitioner, physical therapist, acupuncturist. and mental health coach.

UPDATE: Vonn revealed Tuesday she suffered a completely ruptured ACL in a crash last week but remains focused on racing in the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

REWE Challenged To Justify Their Decision To Remove Paper Flyers From Their Marketing

Two Sides has written to the German retail group REWE about making misleading statements concerning the environmental impact of print communications. Two Sides, the global organisation dedicated to promotion of the sustainability of print, paper and paper packaging, has written to REWE following the German retail group’s published decision to cease production of its weekly promotional paper flyers from 1st July 2023. In a press release published in July 2022, REWE stated that: “This will have a huge impact on the environment, climate, and the sustainable use of resources, saving more than 73,000 tonnes of paper, 70,000 tonnes of CO2, 1.1 million tonnes of water, and 380 million kWh of energy per year.” Two Sides believes that these statements are sensational and misleading in terms of their environmental claims and the statistics used.

The USPS Celebrates 250 Years of Dedicated Service

Founded in 1775 — before the founding of our country, in fact — the United States Postal Service is celebrating 250 years of continuous service. In a statement on its website about the impressive achievement, the agency notes, “On July 26, 1775, a year before declaring independence from Great Britain, members of the Second Continental Congress appointed Benjamin Franklin the first American Postmaster General at a meeting in Philadelphia. Our founding fathers knew that a robust, reliable, and secure means of exchanging information was critical to unify the distant parts of our nation — and to maintain unity once we achieved independence.” So not only is Ben Franklin a pillar of the print community, he is also the father of the mail space as well. An impressive legacy to say the least.
