Lindsey Vonn Scatters Grandfather's Ashes in Korea After Final Olympic Race

Lindsey Vonn took a moment for herself to scatter her grandfather's ashes in Pyeongchang, South Korea, during the 2018 Winter Olympics on Thursday.

Vonn told the Associated Press she was able to scatter the ashes of her grandfather on a rock in the area where the downhill race took place.

"I know that it would mean a lot to him to be back here, a part of him is in South Korea always," she said.

Vonn won a bronze medal in the women's downhill on Tuesday, her first Olympic medal since 2010.
