No medal for Lindsey Vonn in Olympic super-G
Chicago Tribune ^ | 2/16/18 | Associated Press

Posted on 02/16/2018 8:11:21 PM PST by jeannineinsd

There will be no medal for American skier Lindsey Vonn in the Olympic super-G at the Pyeongchang Games. She had a fast run going before a mistake near the bottom cost her valuable time. Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein leads after the opening eight racers. Vonn will have another chance in the downhill. At age 33, she is trying to become the oldest woman to win an Olympic Alpine medal. She won bronze in the super-G at the 2010 Vancouver Games — to go with her downhill gold — but missed the 2014 Sochi Olympics after surgery on her right knee.

Big deal. She doesn’t like Trump. Did she kneel for the national anthem when she won gold? No. Does she go on and on about Trump? No. does she hurl herself down the side of a mountain sometimes at 80 mph on a pair of skis? Yes. Is she the most successful American ski racer in history? Yes. Any of you have the nerve to do that? I am VERY pro Trump but to wish her to fail is just stupidity. She is representing our country.

Grow up. Root for Vonn and Shiffrin.

No, she doesn't represent "our" country, or certainly not mine.

She hates the fact that people like me, and most Freepers, and the President, are even in this country.

I'm not quite sure whose country you belong in, NOOB (2-16-18), but you ought to piss off back to it.

Too bad she let politics ruin her reputation. I guess she should have kept her mouth shut.

I would have loved to root for her, if I was watching but what young Lindsey has to learn that in life, you can't piss off a whole bunch of fans without consequences...

it would have been better for Lindsey if she kept her bad thoughts to herself and gained the backing of the entire country..

WRT Adam Rippon, if you know you’re just not good enough to win, what do you do?

You can just go, do your best, and lose. But that’s pretty boring. Not much drama there.

I kind of get the feeling that Rippon likes drama

So instead you attack Trump and make it all about you and your super gay fabulousness. Now it’s all about you. Suddenly there is all the drama you could ever want, and you’re headlining the Ice Capades instead of trying to skate wearing a giant Mickey Mouse head.

And, who knows, maybe a SJW hook might be enough to sway a judge or two.

Lindsey did pretty good for being the first racer down the hill. Her right arm and hand got behind her on that one gate near the end when it should have been driving around to make the turn. One second of concentration lost, that destroyed her chances. As long as she keeps winning World Cup events to catch Igamar’s record of total wins, she will be the greatest skier ever. Olympic medals are nice, but she’s got plenty of those. It is nice to see Top Team Austria taking golds once again. They make the best skis!

If you are very pro Trump, then perhaps you missed what she said? How dare you tell me what to do. Slither back into your pit.

The rest of the country can fool itself about where to get a handle on what grass roots conservatives are thinking but we know it is right here on Freerepublic. Freepers are the true mirror of what everyday conservatives think and one look at the comments here says loud and clear we were rooting for this air head to lose! I’m a happy camper to see her lose and I’m not alone. No media slugs we DON’T love this liberal puke.

"She is participating as an American, not a democRat."

Lol..... what planet are you living on? Vonn has made it abundantly clear she is representing the democrat party.... NOT America.

The big mouths of the Olympics claimed how they wouldn't go to the WH and meet TRump. Well guess what, losers Shani Davis and Lindsey Vonn needn't bother, as they are not wanted.
