PYEONGCHANG, South Korea -- Lindsey Vonn had the perfect response to the internet trolls.
She climbed yet another Olympic podium.
Vonn’s bronze in the women’s downhill Wednesday came after weeks of being the subject of scorn and vitriol for comments she made about President Trump. She has refused to back down from her views, and did so again after the race.
“I am proud of what I represent and who I am and I’m very proud to hold the American flag on the podium,” Vonn said. “All Americans deserve to hold the flag and to be proud of their country, no matter what their beliefs because that’s what makes America great.
