The Latest: Shiffrin gets silver in combined, Vonn skies out
Seattle PI ^ | 2/21/18

Michelle Gisin of Switzerland has won the women's Alpine combined with an aggressive slalom run to edge American Mikaela Shiffrin at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

Lindsey Vonn, the leader after the downhill portion, made a mistake early in the slalom Thursday and didn't finish in what's likely her final Winter Games.

Gisin was nearly flawless in finishing in a combined time of 2 minutes, 20.90 seconds to hold off silver medalist Shiffrin by 0.97 seconds. Wendy Holdener of Switzerland earned the bronze.

Some Libtard sportswriter on Yahoo wrote an article claiming that it is “un-American” to root against Bonn. I am so tired of these Leftards trying to tell us what is “un-American”..... especially since they are the ones who generally disdain patriotism and patriots in America.

Oh, my! I hope I can sleep tonight wondering in Vonn will take her singular bronze to the White House... I HOPE NOT. I never want to see her or her third place medal again, especially not in my country’s house. I hope she doesn’t start banging any of the golfers I follow, because I don’t want to hear her opinion on any topics ever again. Get lost.

Let’s see, did Shiffrin make any dumbarse comments about not skiing for Pres.Trump before the Olympics? Don’t think so.

I rooted against Vonn (who felt it necessary to make the Olympics all about her leftist political views), and I was American enough to get an all-expense paid vacation to Afghanistan, and three to Iraq.

That sportswriter can bite me.

Vonn takes a Brown Medal. Trump doesn’t like people who come in 3rd. So Sad!

I've been wanting to do this for some time, but my lame image-manipulation skills held me back.

Well, what the hey, I'll go ahead. Someone else with better skills can maybe do a better job!

I can’t imagine folks are going to be standing in line to give her endorsement deals after her terrible performance at the Olympics and having pissed off half the country with her Trump comments. Maybe her agent should give Larry Flynt a call.

Remember: Vonn eagerly became Tiger Woods’ mistress, despite his immoral behavior and myriad infidelities. Two peas in a pod.
