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.

Some good news upon which to end the evening.
Karma’s a bitch, babe!
I doubt anyone who voted for our President was routing for her. That’s half of the Americans watching the Olympics - maybe more than half. When will celebrities and sports figures learn to keep their big mouths shut?
Yeah. me too. Those faggots Im praying to lose. I dont care if they’re TEAM USA.
Czech snowboarder girl comes out of nowhere, in the “no-hope” late group, to grab the lead!
Shani Davis...didn’t medal in the 1500 meters. He has skates in the 1000 meters on Wed. and the 500 meters a week from Monday.
She’ll have another chance with the downhill.
When is the downhill ski competition?
When is this Olympics over completely?
They are Team Fag, not Team USA.
NBC just had another “Heidi Game” moment by cutting away before the surprise gold medalist raced. They thought it was over. Oops.
Yeah ... I’m tired of these cutesy pictures of her in a woolen ski cap ... they worked for her ten years ago ... not anymore.
She looks like she’s been ridden hard and put away wet ... she’s over big time.
She has the downhill and alpine combined team events still to come.
Not sure I’m wanting to see her hurt. Humiliation has already happened.
NBC Sucks.
Yup! It’s real!
Indeed.
The Olympics will be over on the 25th.
Wow, watching that vid was a good way to end my day! Hopefully, she will try two more times and fail two more times.
“When is this Olympics over completely?”
