@Kvbsnx_ 😂 you throw a ball into a hoop. That is not the same as alpine skiing. Please don't embarrass yourself more than you already have by comparing yourself to an Olympic athlete. Hers is an individual sport impacting no one by herself. It's no one's business or decision but her own.
Lindsey Vonn’s decision was just dumb. no one gonna change my opinion. As an athlete who plays basketball and torn his ACL you are not going to compete on any kind of sports one week after injury. It takes a lot of time to get back in shape, she has 41 yo. Dumb decision.
@JordanSchachtel You have no idea what you're talking about. Olympics allows 11 women per country to compete in downhill skiing. There were 4 Americans competing today; plenty of room for 7 more, but there just weren't any other skiers to take up the spots at this level of competition.
Brave of Lindsey Vonn to give it a go.
Though I don't understand why whoever is in charge of the US Ski team didn't bench her for a healthy sub who could compete.
I get it, she's in her 40s, last chance, but that's life. If you tear your ACL in training, it's time to move on.
@rennaestubbs For anyone complaining @lindseyvonn "took up a spot" - Olympics allows 11 women per country to compete in downhill skiing. There were 4 Americans competing today; plenty of room for 7 more, but there just weren't any other skiers to take up the spots at this level of competition
For all you saying oh she shouldn’t have skied with the ACL tear blah blah. She skied twice on it already & came 3rd yesterday in training! It was her hard line to the gate & her right pole wrapping her arm into! It had nothing to do with her knee! So stop with the nonsense!
@ShepRuger@usskiteam No, she didn't. 11 women/country allowed to compete. There were 4 American women competing today; plenty of room for 7 more, but there just weren't any others to take up the spots at this level of competition. She didn't take anyone's spot.
@ABinVienna@Pete_Martuneac Guess what? She didn't take a spot from anyone.

@Pete_Martuneac This x 💯.
The adults, 🇺🇸 Olympics & 🇺🇸 🎿 should have said no, we have someone else who can take your spot and give USA a chance to medal.
Lindsey Vonn should NEVER have been cleared to race at the Olympics. Credit to her for toughness but she tore her ACL a week ago. Allowing her to compete was reckless and stupid.
Hope she’s okay but that was a bad fall.
@RadioCritic83@Pete_Martuneac Literally not selfish. She didn't take a spot from anyone.

@Pete_Martuneac Pretty selfish of Lindsay to ski there should’ve been someone else to take her place. This was never realistic option. I said it at the time as well.
@Hoosier268778@Pete_Martuneac There's no "alternate to compete" - downhill skiing at these Olympics allows 11 women per country to compete. There were 4 American women in this competition. Plenty of room for another 7, but there just aren't any other skiers to take up the spots at this level of competition.
@Pete_Martuneac Lindsay Vaughan should have withdrawn and allowed an alternate to compete. Stupid decision by team management and shameless narcissism on her part.
@marcmurd@Presidentspank1@Pete_Martuneac It doesn't work like that for downhill skiing. There isn't a two per country rule like there is in other sports (like gymnastics) - the limit here is 11 women per country. 4 American women were in this competition - there weren't more than 4 to compete at this level.
@Presidentspank1@Pete_Martuneac Plus, what about the woman who did not get a chance to compete because Vonn “insisted” on taking up a space on the ski team?

This isn’t a concert. It’s the scene of thousands of people gathering in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania right now for VP Kamala Harris’s rally. People are dancing & singing & having an amazing time. Pennsylvania is not going back.

@AskeBay I TRIED. I cannot connect to an agent because your chat always has “technical errors”!! What do you recommend now?? I can’t even do a call back as you ask for a US # though my account is a British one!!
@AskeBay your site is a joke. My account has been suspended for a year & I'm trying to close it, but can't because of a restriction?? The restriction is that I'm suspended! I owe NO money or anything - so why are you refusing to close it? Tried to chat but get "technical error"
