A slip in the final stretch cost American skier Lindsey Vonn a spot on the podium in the women’s super-g on Saturday at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.
Almost instantly after she had failed to medal in the event, people took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the skier. Why?
Back in December, Vonn was openly critical of President Donald Trump, saying that she wouldn’t accept an invitation to the White House after the PyeongChang Olympics.
“I take the Olympics very seriously and what they mean and what they represent, what walking under our flag means in the opening ceremony,” Vonn said in December. “I want to represent our country well. I don’t think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that.”
Well, people didn’t forget — and they didn’t let Vonn forget either. Many claimed it was karma. Some said it was #MAGA and their support for Trump. Others even linked her failure to PGA golfer Tiger Woods’ — her ex-boyfriend who failed to make the cut Friday at the Genesis Open.
This isn’t a new problem, either. Ever since Vonn voiced her opinion on the Trump adminstration, she has been receiving hate online. American ski jumper Lindsey Van — whose name is just two letters off from Vonn’s — said she has been receiving hate mail and comments directed for Vonn for weeks.
Vonn will have another chance to medal in the downhill competition on Wednesday. United States teammate Mikaela Shiffrin will also compete in the event.

Not me since I don’t tweet or FB but I know some who have been banned because they wrote not nice things about her. Hey, she brought it on herself with her disgusting mouthing off. NBC can thank her for a major part of their lack of viewership this year.
Karma-ga!

Is she with the Olympic Athletes Representing Russia?
and Rippon was placed on the team...the guy who came in second in the nationals was not invited on the team but they put Rippon- who came in fourth in nationals- on the Olympic team...
Overhyped loser. Get her a Kleenex.....
mostly, the bitch is just old
Me either. I had to look it up.
Hahaha...I remember that!
Looks like there’s room for more than one flaming commentator - NBC has signed up Rippon for the remainder of the games.
Apparently Rippon turned it down.
With just a bit more tiger in her she might have placed.
