Lindsey Vonn‘s desire to win is so intense that, after one of her skis detached on a bumpy turn in Friday’s World Cup downhill, she later pulled out a hammer and pounded on the broken ski’s binding.
Vonn had it filmed (also telling of that intensity), and it was briefly posted on social media before being deleted. Vonn later apologized.
It makes one wonder Vonn’s reaction to her finish in Saturday’s downhill, also in La Thuile, Italy. She placed second, .14 behind Italian Nadia Fanchini. Full results are here.
