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.'

Lindsey has much in common with the Bronze medal ,,,,,, they may both be a little better than nothing .
Bronze medal winner, also known as SECOND LOSER.
“Lindsey Vonn is a fierce competitor and a great champion skier, and by all accounts she is a good sportsman and a very nice person. I do not wish ill for her. That said, she provoked a backlash and Ill bet she wishes she could take back her angry words against the president. Vonn had the entire country on her side until she chose to offend half its people. Shut up and ski, indeed.’
Of course she has a right to speak her mind. All she had to say was that she disagreed with the President, but represents all Americans regardless of their view. But no, she had to try and diss the President and virtue signal. Words have consequences. Go make a commercial Lindsay.
LMAO.
Boo Effing Hoo.
Glad she lost. Worthless un-American bitch.
Oh, we’re supposed to build her up after she tears us down. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Gosh, and maybe 30% of America was rooting for her.
No one that I know......................
The Snowflakes will tell her its Dark Gold so she feels better.
Participation Medal....
Maybe she could write a book! Yeah, call it What Happened . Or has that been done?
She’s really not that pretty either.
Maybe she could throw her medals over the fence at the White House. Empty liberal gestures never go out of style.
Maybe she can get a certificate of participation....,going downhill fast....,
“But I feel recently it has taken a different turn and I hope that instead of tearing people down we can build people up.”
Hypocrite!
Stupid twit.
Just like all the snowflake assholes...you can dish it out, but you can't eat it.
No pity.
Piss off.
If you throw ANYTHING over the WH fence, you will be arrested, nowadays......................
