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.'

Not enough to impair her taking care of herself and such, no. Liberal insanity notwithstanding.
Back in the day there was joke about the Polish athlete who was so proud of his gold medal he had it bronzed.
Hee hee.....that’s a good one.
Heh, I love the “Drinking Salty Liberal Tears” meme!!!!
THIS is "journalism"?
Boo Frikkin Hoo
Those are ridiculously fake eyelashes. What a clown.
I think it’s fascinating NOW knowing that every human on Earth knows, that Eldrick “ Tiger” Woods was “ beeping” paid women on every date of the PGA Tour. All the times, we saw him WIN, wearing that Red Shirt on Sunday, he KNEW, he had a whole next # days of, hmmm, “ whatever he wanted ,”. And here, another Pro White Woman, devoured him,and chose too, in every way. So glad she failed going for Gold. LMAO!!!
Michael Moore takes care of himself....kinda....yet, is he not....?
. Looks like nobody ever told her she was wrong, ugly or stupid and she believes everything everyone has ever said to her about how wonderful she is.
That’s because she’s from Minnesota, where everyone is above average.
Lake Wobegon is Minnesota.
"I thought I knew what politics were until I started to watch some of these presidential debates," he said. "Im not saying that the political system in Northern Ireland is too strong at the moment either, but its shocking."
It almost seems like McIlroy is happy he doesnt have to bear the burden of having to vote this year.
"I cant vote, and if I were to vote, Im not sure I would want to vote for any of the candidates."
