Lindsey Vonn Crashes on Last Race of Career
Quote:Legendary skier Lindsey Vonn suffered a dramatic crash Tuesday during the final Super-G event of her career, hitting a gate mid-air and ending up in the safety nets at the world championships in Sweden.

The all-time leader in women's World Cup wins was about 17 seconds into her run when she lost control.

After skiing through a gate, the panel fitted between the two poles detached and became stuck on Vonn's boots. When she hit the ground, she slid downhill face first, using her hands to keep her head from hitting the snow. Vonn came to a stop when she hit the safety netting.



Even after the dramatic crash, Vonn got up, was tended to by medical personnel and then skied the rest of the way down the hill.

Karma!

It's her last Super-G race, she still has one more. That's why she was one of the best, she took risks in her racing.

I'm pretty sure her not liking the president has nothing to do with her wreck. trying to connect some kind of stupid dots is just plain idiotic.

Quit being such a snowflake every time someone says they don't like Trump.

Prove it. Knowing what we know about TDS, she was probably thinking about her hatred for Trump as she flew into the gate like an idiot.
