Lindsey Vonn suffers back injury in World Cup race after Trump comments

FOX: Skiing star Lindsey Vonn suffered a back injury during a World Cup super-G race in Switzerland Saturday, two days after she criticized President Donald Trump in an interview about next year’s Winter Olympics..

Vonn crossed the finish line in obvious distress, almost one second behind the then-leader, and slumped to the snow.

Vonn’s tentative run after jarring her back early on placed her 24th, trailing 1.56 seconds behind the surprise winner, Jasmine Flury of Switzerland. The race was shortened due to strong winds higher up the mountain.

Vonn stayed in the finish house to be treated, and one hour later limped slowly into a waiting car to be driven from the St. Moritz course.

  1. The problem that I have we live in a culture of narcissism. Athletes today have become self absorbed icons who suddenly think that their fame and fortune translates into a graduate degree from the JFK School of Government because of their exposure to the world and their travels.

  2. Ms. Vonn is 33 years old and more likely not to make the cut for the team then make it. With that understood I understand her point. It’s like an unpopular kid at high school declaring they aren’t going to a party knowing that theyre unlikely to be invited anyway.
