Olympic Minute: Vonn Crashes in Giant Slalom

[IMT00FIERCE]

Skiing is a different sport. You have to be inside of it to understand it. If you aren't a ski racer the get out of the comments. Skiing is one of those sports where anyone can come out and perform at any given day. The sport is 100% Mental, while at the same time 100% Physical. In skiing it is so hard to be the Best in Everything the differences in a speed even and a tech event racer is night and day. Ligety failed at these olympics but he won the Globe for Gs..

@IMT00FIERCE Vonn is the most successful at the sport, She won 5 Downhills in a row, that is unheard of.. (Success is measured by victory right?) If you ski you would totally understand what happened. Its a shit ton harder to race a downhill course and win a gold then it is to run 100 meters.. Skiing is a sport that has so many variables.. It's a lot harder to win an Olympic Gold Skiing then it is to win a Basketball game..

ChosenTheOnexxx is perfectly right. And "Winning means often crashing" is a paradox--you can't have both. I guess for Lindsey that means winning gold 1 time and crashing--3 times! The simple math tells me that she fails far more often than she wins. That's like getting 95% in one class and failing every other class--wow very good student... (if you're smart enough to note the analogy).

[btrfly25]

She fell 3/5 races! It makes one wonder whether her winning of "gold" is just out of pure luck... She's very inconsistent with her performances. Anyways bye-bye Vonn, Maria Reisch of Germany got crowned "ski queen" for winning two golds and not stumbling like you did (3 times!). Congratulations on your other (bronze) medal though lol.

It is very normal, that Lindsey Vonn gets all the attention. In the world cup and world championship, she won downhill, super g and super combined. She had a chance to win also in slalom. So she could have won 4 gold medals , but it is the olympic games , where often it's not the champion who wins ...

[kyle887923]

vonn gets all the attention completely overshadowing her teammate mancuso

all i heard about at these olympics was lindsey vonn

how she won the gold in downhill how she fucked up in super combined how she fucked up in giant slalom and broke her fucking pinky

i bet her dissapointment from crashing in giant slalom turned to a sense of relief when her team mate julia mancuso was flagged, taking her out of the mix for a gold medal and not jepordizing vonn's total control of the spot light

[ChosenTheOnexxx]

This bitch keeps on choking.

The one gold medal is great but you can't wash out in every other race, my God. Being the best is about being the best consistently. Everything I said about this media attention whore was right. so overrated!!! So sick of hearing about how Lindsey Vonn is great at what she dose, BULLSHIT. This bitch crashed AGAIN, a fucking new record.

@ChosenTheOnexxx

u have to go all out to win gold, which means crashing often

[IMT00FIERCE]

@ChosenTheOnexxx You don't race do you...

[aROBOTgirl02]

Vonn overshadows her teammates; which is pretty unfair! When she's interviewed, it's like she's the only woman skier that is representing the US..

[machokingwwf]

It was all about Vonn since this began. I didn't even know who the hell Julia Mancuso was or that this was even a team sport. Vonn knows how to hawk the attention tho. I never heard her mention teamwork. And when she crashed The World had to stop. And she seem to crash all the time. Then again its a woman thing. They always play the damsel in distress role. And they're always jealous of each other. Women hate each other.

[IMT00FIERCE]

@machokingwwf Its not a team sport... Vonn does twice the Training of any other girl she deserves it..

[silkyjohnson07]

damn! she screwed over julia mancuso :(

[JokersWild419]

Lindsey Vonn just picked up a new sponsor... Toyota.

[promdawg]

Good, I hope she is knocked out of skiing for good.

[ChosenTheOnexxx]

She needs to be put on a ad putting an image of her crashing. This bitch keeps on crashing, crashing, crashing,crashing, and crashing.

[ChosenTheOnexxx]

This bitch is so fucking overrated. And enough of bullshit media coverage of her fucking injuries. Rarely do athletes ever goes into a competition 100 percent. But this bitch just loves the attention, and all the injuries were all due to her fucking self. This bitch fucking SUCKS, how can you be considered great if this bitch keeps on falling more times than actually finishing races. Shes not great because there's always a high chance that she'll fall, that's not being great.

[borealfadd]

What were you chosen for?

[ChosenTheOnexxx]

To fuck your mom. This has nothing to do with my name, loser. What I posted was true, and many other feel the same way. I just injured my right pinky finger, what ever will I do.

[SuperStreet04]

dude seriously do what she does and than you can talk....she goes down the mountain at 70-90 mph lets see can you control that kind of speed down the mountain

[ceeks914]

who are you and where are your olympic medals, you nasty and angry fool!

[muffinman7615]

just show the fucking crash!

[TheVMFA333]

vonn you suck

[borealfadd]

You've haven't been on planet earth this winter have you.

[TheVMFA333]

vonn sucks

[borealfadd]

Can you provide some details about why you think Lindsey is such a bad skier?

[TheVMFA333]

V O N N S U C K  S

[borealfadd]

Your mastery of the English language is daunting. Thank you for straightening me out.

[TheVMFA333]

not welcome

[muttonbuster]

@borealfadd She's no a bad skier. It's just the Danica Patrick effect. She's pretty and marketable, which gives her way more coverage than her skiing deserves. I barely heard Anja parson's name on NBC. Anja, at only 3 years older than Vonn, has three times as many medals for world championships and the olympics. Vonn isn't even close to her, or Janica Kostelić's output.
