Lindsey Vonn crashes early in Olympic downhill, taken off the mountain in a helicopter

[HereInTheHeartland]

“ This morning, it appears that Vonn’s ego is stronger than her knees.”

True.
But she would have been 1,000% aware of the risk .
A lot of conservative values in not making excuses and taking big risks to be successful .
I find it insane should could even attempt this, takes a huge amount of drive and hard work .

[Az Joe]

Trump Curse.

She bad mouthed Trump

[MinorityRepublican]

She’s over the hill. Should have gave her spot to someone 20 years younger.

[Az Joe]

Yep

[Az Joe]

STFU

She bad mouthed Trump. The Trump Curse got her

[HereInTheHeartland]

“ She’s over the hill. Should have gave her spot to someone 20 years younger.”

Whoa!
These spots are earned by how good they are in other competitions .
It’s great to see people out there fighting hard and not slowly dying off just because a calendar page turned

[napscoordinator]

Absolutely. I’d even wish her to win had she said that.

Tom Brady is 48. He can probably come back to the NFL and start on a team right now.

But at some point, you gotta know when to hang it up.

[equaviator]

"once ACL injured it often happens again. She had no business being on that slope."

Somebody must've warned her but she had to find out the hard way.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“ But at some point, you gotta know when to hang it up.”

I agree. But pushing the boundary and re inventing yourself are keys to staying vibrant and useful .
My barber is 82 and working keeps him healthy

[Hyman Roth]

She’s a woke piece of ;;;;. Who cares.

[T.B. Yoits]

So stop it with your nonsense. You know nothing about this sport.

I never said I knew anything about the sport. But I do know about her. I know they took her out of there in a helicopter lift. I know she faceplanted after she badmouthed President Trump in his first term.

Displacement, via Trump Derangement Syndrome, is a self-disqualifying mental mechanism for anyone, but especially professional athletes.

[T.B. Yoits]

And AI is not, typically, a bunch of Indians responding to queries. It’s a real thing, and will be taking over your world in 3, 2, 1,. . .

And you're sure it's not typical that other instances like those seven hundred Indians pretending to be "Artificial Intelligence".

Meanwhile, from two days ago:

Amazon leads Big Tech’s $1 trillion wipeout as AI bubble fears ignite sell-off.

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/ai-sell-off-stocks-amazon-oracle.html

"Fears over AI spending sparked the sell-off. Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, Meta, Amazon and Alphabet all saw their shares fall in the week up to the market close on Thursday."

So... the biggest users of it can't make it work. Who cares how many "AI" answers about celubutards or "AI" creations of fake kitten videos the Indian programmers calling themselves "AI" can make? If the big buyers can't use it - goodbye.

She’s over the hill. Should have gave her spot to someone 20 years younger.

You're clueless Louis.

She's the best women's downhill racer in the world this World Cup season, with 5 podium appearances out of 7 races. Three Gold medals, 1 silver and 1 bronze.

[rlmorel]

You can say “Bullshit” all you want, but the fact is-AND THIS IS A FACT-Lindsey Vonn is the one who injected politics into her sport. Not me. SHE did.

Screw her. They are trying to build her up as some kind of strong woman who is a good role model because she skied on a bad knee. Oh yeah. She is the best female downhill racer in the world.

Right.

She lasted 20 seconds into her run and made a total of three turns before she removed herself from competition.

And, her failure on the world stage didn’t have anything to do with her “injury”. It had everything to do with her incompetence at the downhill sport. And dozens of other “accomplished” female downhill skiers managed to complete their runs and place without incompetently hitting the gate with her pole and ending her run.

You are fine with branding people as “clueless idiots” without having the slightest idea what you are talking about, presenting her as the best in the world when she can’t even finish a run without putting herself out of the running. Fine. She just choked on the big stage, then. It wasn’t her knee.

You have somehow latched onto that loser as someone worthy of respect. That says something about you.

So, she sure is something. And it isn’t competent if that is her excuse.

I am going to support women who support their country, and I will do that even if the woman doesn’t place for a medal. But the execrable has-been, anti-American ingrate Lindsey Vonn isn’t one of them.

[Hot Tabasco]

Lindsey Vonn is the one who injected politics into her sport. Not me. SHE did.

You made the claim that she denigrated the United States overseas.

I'll ask you one more time, what did she say, when did she say it and where overseas?

Either put up or shut up and get off this thread you pathetic puritan living in your political bubble.

Get a life or get a cat to keep you company......Sheesh!

[Hot Tabasco]

For the record dude, here is her only political statement that got you panties all wadded up, and it wasn't overseas:

Lindsey Vonn stated she would not visit the White House if invited by then-President Donald Trump, clarifying she represented the American people, not the administration. She expressed that her goal was to represent U.S. values of compassion and unity, emphasizing that athletes compete for the country, not political parties.

Sounda fair enough to me, but obviously not you perpetually pissed off puritans living in your political bubble.....

[rlmorel]

I don't recall ever having a cross word with you before, but I will remind you that you are the one coming in hot to this thread and slinging ad hominem attacks at people who take issue with a loser you regard as some kind of sacrosanct heroine.

And you obviously did not read the thread, especially at #37 posted by Freeper DoodleBob-here is what she said, this is what she said, this is when she said it, and she said it overseas:

Lindsey Vonn: I won’t be representing US President at Winter Olympics

St Moritz, Switzerland (CNN)A number of US athletes have spoken out against Donald Trump during his presidency — and skier Lindsey Vonn has become the latest to have her say. Targeting Olympic gold at February’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Vonn is in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where she spoke passionately about what it means to compete for the US ski team. “Well I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president,” Vonn told CNN’s Alpine Edge.

And that isn't the only time the narcissistic loser has made statements along those lines, it is only one example.

I suggest you get a life yourself, instead of being a Karen (and one who sticks up for Leftists like Vonn at that) and telling everyone else how they should live, how they should think, and what they should be offended by.

I am willing to have civil discourse with you anytime, but it you start the conversation the way you did, it won't be civil.

[Hot Tabasco]

Nice try at deflection dude, but I'm addressing the specific statement you made about Lindsey Vonn:

But she did denigrate our country while overseas.

Anything else you might post is irrelevant. You still haven't answered my questions.........That's because your accusation is bullshit and you know it.

Now go away.......
