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

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.

How does a slow middle-aged MILF wind up on the US Olympic Team?

There must be some kind of fix in, because these mid- to-late thirties athletes are just not competitive.

I love how she was the super duper fastiest fastest ever until she “made a mistake” at the end of the run and came in 29th, right in front of the girl from Chad who has never seen snow before.

“She is participating as an American, not a democRat.”

Really? If you were truly an American, maybe you should shut up about your politics. A majority of the Freepers on this thread disagrees with you.

Eh. No:

From a google search
“”Well I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president,” Vonn told...”
