4 Olympics: one gold, two bronze. As Olympic stardom goes, that's fairly mediocre.
She did win multiple world championships in between the Olympics.
Actually I feel sorry for Lindsey Vonn. Because of poor choices, she will be recognized more for her relationship with Tiger and President bashing than her personal accomplishments. She chose poorly in cementing her legacy. I hope younger athletes will learn from her example.
She’s astoundingly repulsive.
Great athletes go out with a bang not a whimper. A gold not a bronze after all that bragging and trash talk.
So it’s not the Tiger juice injections?
She was a chain smoker, and it was a hoot watching her puff away on the chair lift before going on to win her events. She also dropped out of competition to have children, came back, and became a champion again. Amazing.
This reads like satire. US Today was whining about Rippon not being invited to Sunday’s special exhibition, saying how much he charmed mainstream audience with his charm and personality.
self absorbed twit is as gentle as I can be ... Get a life, have kids, if your sole goal is beating men, get some advice from Tiger’s ex. She has prior experience beating a real ‘champ’.
She is a good racer. Too bad this author didn’t focus on her accomplishments, not her slaying of the battle of the sexes dragons.
Another ridiculous bloviating narrative. Apparently this LIBTARD has never heard of one Jim Thorpe, who was the greatest natural athletes of all time.
Freepers confused by the headline need to recheck the date it was first published.
This will get her a few endorsement gigs.. but the BIG MONEY goes to those who take home GOLD.
With that being said, 22 year old Mikaela Shiffrin is on track to surpass 33 year old Vonn with already 39 world cup victories compared to Vonn's 78.......
Who cares what this loser snowflake who disrespects the President of the US says about anything? Shut up and ski. Maybe that should be shut up and fall. Loser. Has been.
