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.

All those STD meds after dating Tiger Woods may have taken a toll.
Glad that the USA team picked up a bronze in team figure skating. Mostly happened because the U.S. has a balanced team and because some of the top men’s skaters skipped the event.
The only downside is that the team put bitter nasty flamer Adam Rippon on the team, since it was his only chance to pick up a medal. (He was a non-factor in the men’s singles later when all the best skaters participated)
You aren’t the only one. I despise her, plus Adam Rippon.
Well, Lindsey won’t have to worry about anyone thinking she’s standing up for our President. LOL
Adam Rippon: snarky b*tchy drama queen LOSER. Nobody gives a damn how you have sex so shut the hell up about it.
Yeah, she is certainly a wacko liberal. But I am OK if USA medal count goes up by 1.
Andy Williams a sorta conservative close friend of Robert Kennedy stood by her like a gentleman would....he said she was the mother of his children
she murdered him no question and got off....married her then married lawyer and still resides in Aspen...striking resemblance to my own wife but wifey has very highlighted hair
She does not “represent” me or the USA. She has stated in her own words that she represents only Leftards. Screw her, hope she loses again.
I watched just to see her lose. It was nasty having to watch her get highlighted during the whole event. Talking to her father who didnt raise her to respect the country she represents
Disgusting
‘But she is still Not Guilty.’
wow; dayum...
Isn’t the entire team (win or lose, not just the medal winners) invited to the White House?
Of course Vonn would likely not accept.
How many times did they have to replay:
Vonn’s childhood story about her grandfather?
Nathan Chen’s elemetary school teacher?
I would rather watch, say, a hockey game between Slovenia and Slovakia than either of those two segments again.
LOL
Wow, I didn’t know about that murder story, thanks for directing me to a quick little web search. She got off with “negligent homicide” and a 30 day sentence, yeah right..... because he was “showing her his gun” in the frickin’ BATHROOM from 6 feet away..... yeah, sure, the typical case of an “accidental” shooting.....
Hmmm not sure its the entire us team. Wouldnt that be a few hundred people?
Actually Adam Rippon skated two clean programs. He was never in the run for a medal, because his programs did not have the difficulty of the top skaters competing. That is the disgusting part. NBC decided to give him all that air time knowing he wasnt in contention for a medal, yet the other American skater (Asian) had a more technically difficult program and wound up placing a few spots higher than Pippon. Yet we didnt get to see ONE second his short or free skate. Im not sure they even mentioned him more than twice. Why? To focus on some Pence bashing homo.
Yep and I stated in another post his coverage was all at the expense of the other American skater who placed higher than Rippon. NBC getting the crappy ratings they deserve.
Anthony who? The Japanese men won gold and silver in mens figure skating.
No, he won nothing. The NBC propaganda treats him as though he is one of the leading US athletes, solely because of his sexual behavior, but in fact he was never a serious medal contender. Think of all the BETTER athletes, from the USA and many other countries, who received little or no TV time because of NBC’s twisted priorities.
I realize Lindsey is a political dolt who might be well served to shut up and ski but its getting twisted to root AGAINST our USA athletes and be pleased when they lose.
