American ski racer Lindsey Vonn became emotional after she missed out on gold in after a solid run that may be her final downhill race of her Olympic career.
Vonn, who finished 0.47 seconds behind leader Sofia Goggia of Italy, took home bronze, also hit back at the cruel internet trolls who have targeted her after she claimed her bronze medal.
The skier faced taunts and abuse after she said President Donald Trump did not represent her.
When asked by DailyMail.com about the savage abuse she had received, she said: 'I agree it has been "savage abuse."'
'I think the most important thing about social media is to be who you are and remember that everything on social media lasts forever. Social media can be used in a very positive way if you are a good person.
'But I feel recently it has taken a different turn and I hope that instead of tearing people down we can build people up.
'Sports is supposed to be about uplifting…this is the Olympics. We cheer for every country instead of hoping somebody falls or skis of a cliff and dies.'

So?
cry me a river. She can join Tiger as has beens.
The by product of not teaching your children how to act when you lose as well as win.
What a disgusting snowflake. Buck up, you loser. You brought this on yourself. Shut and ski, sweetie.
There was a time I was indifferent or might have even rooted for her. That was a long time ago.
“I hope that instead of tearing people down we can build people up.”
Then keep your big yap shut and ski.
The Snowflakes will tell her it’s Dark Gold so she feels better.
Hahahahahaha...I am adding that one to the collection...Hillary getting on the plane...Hillary getting into the van...Mr. Pepperballs getting it in the stones...love it!
Here’s my story, sad but true ....
Lyndsey Vonn does not represent me
That’s almost “agony of defeat” material.
Liberal tears. The more heartfelt the better. Sweet as wine.
Where was “uplifting” when you were dissing our President. What have you done for your country?
Not when you disrespect our President, you insufferable bitch.
“and I hope that instead of tearing people down we can build people up.”
Oh like you did for the President of the United States of America?
One thing I noticed in her interview was that is was all about her. She was proud of herself. She did mention what a great group of girls she skied with and that they all had to overcome injuries. But I did not hear any gratitude for the treasure that people gave up so she could ski as a career.
Maybe I missed it. I just don’t see her as a good person.
Good.
Grin...
Did she expect not to get any push-back over her comments? Shut up and ski.
