On a Sunday morning filled with all kinds of emotion, American Breezy Johnson won the women’s Olympic downhill race. It was the first gold medal of Johnson’s career and the first awarded to the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Glad for Breezy! A local kid done well. She crashed and burned on this course a few years ago and has fought to make a come back. A great story!
As for Lindsey, she was going for it (acl and all) and cut a gate a smidge too close. Looking at the crash, I would not be surprised if her bone fracture isn’t a spiral break. Not good.
And the American hating punks on the team drag them all down in the crab bucket. Personally I don’t care one whit about any of them as the loudmouths on the team are the ones who speak for the whole team and who the sponsors and coaches support.
Actually, the loudmouth members of the teams are the ones that the propaganda media publicize the most. We have no idea how many are patriotic Americans
“In December 2017, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn stated she would not visit the White House and was representing the people of the U.S., not President Donald Trump, at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Vonn criticized the government’s direction, saying she aimed to represent the country, not the administration.”
Bless her. She represents me and the land that I love.
”The Paralympics are coming up in a few weeks. Vonn may be ready to compete by then.”
Vonn is a loser with a huge ego.
I feel nothing for her. Total indifference. Like, huh, she crashed. Who? So what.
Great patriot and incredible athlete, sad this didn’t work out for her, but she gave I t her all.
And yet you felt the need to come on this thread and post that.
Fine, please be sure to let us know when someone you admire or respect suffers a setback so we can return the assholery.
Poor Vonn...Having to scream her anti Trump/America rants from a wheelchair. tsk tsk
So, you admire and respect her...
You might respect and admire an anti-America liberal dipwad. I don’t. NO American I know does.
Sadly the anti American rants by some of the athletes turned me off from watching.
Vonn was representing Walz, Frey and Ellison along with the millions of Skinny Minnie villagers who are now living in 3 million dollar straw huts eating bananas and rice while listening to Kamala singing “Woke Salad Kammie”.
