Lots of people just criticize some facts without actually knowing what is behind what they see.
Lyndsey Vonn is a great skier and the facts prove it. You got to know very good what the effort and life is like behind a person like her, and then you can give your opinion.
people do love to criticize and bash others even if they are doing great. i wonder if these people that are bashing lindsey vonn or other good players know how to ski?
skiing fast is definitely hard. you need control, focus and flexibility to do this.
not her problem if the media overhyped her. winning gold and bronze is a big accomplishment. not everyone can do it.
for someone with her reputation and what people expected her to do
thats a choke
she put down an amazing run to win the downhill
but the next day she was leading after the first run in super combined but then fell during the slalom portion with the gold medal almost around her neck
she was expected to win gold on super g but admits not skiing hard enough on the lower portion of the course
Nobody who knows anything about skiing ever believed that Lindsey could have made a medal sweep because nobody on the circuit was that good and that includes Lindsey.Alpine skiing is not swimming for goodness sake!It is much much tougher.
Maybe you should listen less to media hype and educate yourself more on the sport to know what is possible and what is not before you start talking about who chokes.This kind of talk comes out of sheer ignorance about what the sport is all about.
A canadian,eh?With all the pressure placed on the entire canadian ski team, how many alpine ski medals did they win?A whole team with no single medal and you come here talking about Lindsey choking.
You may have skiied but you know t oo little about alpine skiracing, or else you won't be listening to media hypes.
FYI, Lindsey did not aim for 5 edals but ONE, and the one she won most impressively, GOLD in DH.
and when she didnt win in super g her huband made these ridiculous accusations, saying the canadian ski federation purposely dessigned the course so lindsey couldnt win..
hmm?
and your from um..nigeria?
yeah you defs dont waana be lecturing me about me knowing little about alpine skiing..
She gave you two medals and you dare say that she choked just because the clueless US media overhyped her unrealisitically.
Even with all that pressure on her shoulders(which she never asked for) she still went ahead and gave you and your country two medals, and you come here talking like an ingrate.
You should appreciate her effort and not hate on her.
Reputation matters little in olympic alpine skiing.That is the first thing you gotta know.Olympics has it's own rules that makes it no respecter of any reputation.Anybody can win the medal at the olympics.Many medal favourite alpine skiers failed to nail any in this games.10 possible gold medals won by 9 different alpins skiers.That should give you a small impression just how tough alpins skiing is at the olympics.
Now now children, if you can't play nicely there'll be a time out, (that's a time oot in Canuck speak). So many weenie egos on You Tube, but at least it's entertaining.
Lindsey Vonn makes skiing look so easy. It is a very dangerous sport though. In some of these events, there is just a thin sheet of tissue paper that separates life from death. It is very easy for something to go wrong, just like with the sled accident nearly two weeks ago. A 21 year old was instantly killed when he flew off the track right before the finish line.
Yuk. What a pain Lindsay Vonn is. Fancy calling her "Vonncouver". She should get some humility and grace like Julia Mancuso, who was robbed of her own chance of a gold medal because of Vonn's crash. The whole celebrity thing around people like Vonn is just pathetic. Great skiers like Stenmark and Killy are forgotten, even though they were so much faster and better than Vonn.
@SugarTomAppleRoger.Lindsey won the Overall for the third time in a row.She won 11 races in World Cup this year.And you have the cheek to say she's not fast.You are a real comedian!
Nbd went up the lift with her at lake Louise in Canada

k I know how tough skiing is, I started skiing when i was 4.
and she didnt give "my" country two medals cause im from fucking canada
so dont respond to my comment with three seperate comments of your own
my point was, despite her two medals, she didnt ski as well as she would have liked at these olympics
she was aiming for 5 medals and she only came out with 2
it was deffinitly a bittersweet olympics for her

haha yeah your right...
the canadian ski team did choke..BIG time
on almost every race
but so did lindsey becides downhill and super g
and when she didnt win in super g her huband made these ridiculous accusations, saying the canadian ski federation purposely dessigned the course so lindsey couldnt win..
hmm?
and your from um..nigeria?
yeah you defs dont waana be lecturing me about me knowing little about alpine skiing..
have you ever even skied before?
kyle887923 1 year ago
Don't you just wish that the entire canadian team "choked" with a gold and a bronze?
Alteast Lindsey alone flogged the entire canadian ski team on medal count.How about that for choking?
Whether you think she choked or not, she is an olympic DH champion and a historic one, too, as the first american woman ever to have achieved that.
And yes, i am from nigeria, but that takes away nothing from the fact that i know about ski racing more than you do,canadian.
