Lindsey Vonn receives hate-tweets after not medaling in Super-G

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — Lindsey Vonn failed to medal in her first event of the Winter Games, with a wide turn toward the end of her super-G run dropping the 33-year-old into a tie for sixth place.

It didn’t take long for the haters to come out of the woodwork — on Twitter, of course.

While training for Pyeongchang in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in early December, Vonn said she would not accept an invitation to the White House following the Winter Games, drawing social-media outrage from supporters of Donald Trump’s presidency.

“I want to represent our country well,” Vonn said at the time.
