Pyeongchang, South Korea, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Feb, 2018 ) :Lindsey Vonn admitted on Sunday that she was "hurt" by accusations that she is anti-American after the US ski star's outspoken stance against President Donald Trump.
And Vonn, one of the most successful skiers of all time, said she plans to avoid speaking out again for the time being after she was subjected to abuse on Twitter for her opinions.
Vonn, the 2010 Olympic downhill gold medallist, surprisingly failed to reach the podium in coming sixth in Saturday's super-G at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
The race was won by Czech snowboarder Ester Ledecka in one of the biggest shocks in Winter Games history. Vonn's disappointing performance was met with glee by some in the United States who did not take kindly to her comments saying that she would not visit Trump's White House if she won a medal.
