I was pulling for Lindsay Vonn to have a great Olympics.

But she crashed on one of her runs after she clipped a gate with her shoulder throwing off course. They had to use a helicopter to get off the mountain.

She is a tough lady especially after tearing her ACL last week. She is a wonderful lady who never gave up on herself. I hope she gets another chance to shine.

to give it her all. It looks pretty obvious to me that her body is telling her it’s time to shine off the skis now. Time comes for us all.
