Lindsey Vonn is brushing off the haters.
Vonn hit the slopes at the Pyeongchang Olympics on Saturday,
but failed to win a medal in the super-G race.
Following the race, Twitter erupted with trolls coming after
her, with many tweets surrounding comments Vonn made about President Trump
last year.

The tweets had a negative connotation, and included
comments that said Vonn is an “embarrassment” and
“obnoxious.”
But
why is the Twitterverse so upset at the skier? Last year she criticized Donald
Trump in an interview with CNN, saying she would “absolutely not” go
to the White House if she won gold.

Former soccer star Julie Foudy took to Twitter on Saturday
to show some support for Vonn.
“I just spent the last 20 min’s reading thru tweets
directed at @lindseyvonn. Sickened & disgusted once again by the lack of
humanity that engulfs our country. She just raced her damn heart out &
Trump supporters gloat/cheer/celebrate her inability to medal. Is this what
we’ve become,” she wrote.
Lindsey quote tweeted Julie’s message and shared how she’s
feeling.
“It’s ok Julie. Not everyone has to like me but my
family loves me and I sleep well at night. I work hard and try to be the best
person I can be. If they don’t like me their loss I guess… Thank you for the support,”
she wrote.
