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.'

I wonder if she regrets divorcing her husband. In recent interviews she has admitted being lonely and sometimes depressed, and always travels with her dog for company.
Awesome work! LOL
Dear Lindsey: KARMA BABY!!
You brought the social media “abuse” on yourself. You decided to publicly attack and tear down President Trump. And now you’re boo hoo hooing because you’ve been called out in social media for being such a b*tch.
Moral to the story: shut up and ski!
Old, wore out , vain
Lindsay Vomit Was victim of insularity: she knows nobody who supports Trump, hears nobody in the media that she follows supporting Trump, so she thought he was universally hated and that there is no price to be paid for dissing him.
She was wrong!
This!
I have never understood why she is portrayed as an ultra-hot babe. She is not. And whatever meager physical attractiveness there might be is offset by her stupidity, coarseness and bitchy attitude. Did anyone see her hocking loogies while at the top of the run last night? Gross. No class whatsoever.
Yeah. Affirmative action works for metals, too.
What a whiner. She started crying when the Norwegian beat her time to win Silver.
Look at it this way princess. At least you didn’t have to kneel during the National Anthem.
I need a couple of those tears for my martini Lindsey Graham Vonn.
Probably tears of joy. Now she won’t have to go on NBC and publicly refuse going to the White House. LOL! Makes me wonder if she didn’t throw these events. After all, I read an article yesterday claiming that most of the Olympians at the games really shouldn’t have been there. Heh.
I SOOOO wish I had made that! I laugh every time I see it...Mr. PepperBalls indeed!
“I wonder if she regrets divorcing her husband. In recent interviews she has admitted being lonely and sometimes depressed, and always travels with her dog for company=”
Poor dog.
At least he got out before he had to hang himself.
Well instead of focusing on the bronze winner let us focus on the winner of the gold Sofia Goggia of Italy. The first time an Italian has won the downhill. Three cheers for Sofia and Italy!!!
She is lucky she retires all in one piece without significant, debilitating brain damage.
“I was hoping she would finish in last place.”
“debilitating brain damage”....Uhmmmmm....don’t you think that it is the case right now?
Fighting off all those venereal diseases she contracted from Tiger Woods took a big toll on her system. Lucky she can still walk, let alone ski, after the kind of clap he likely gave her.
