American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn sent a message to the internet trolls who bombarded her with abuse after she missed out on a Winter Olympics medal on Saturday.
Trolls, including some of President Donald Trump‘s advocates, tweeted hateful messages at the 33 -year-old four-time Olympian after she placed sixth in the women's super-G event. Their commentaries were in apparent retaliation for Vonn's criticism of Trump last month.
Vonn replied that” not everyone has to like me but my family love me and I sleep well at night .”
” I work hard and try to be the best person I can be,” Vonn added.” If they don't like me, their loss I guess .”
Vonn won two medals, a gold and a bronze, at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. A knee injury prevented her from vying at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Vonn said it was ” frustrating” to lose out in the super-G event, but she was ” proud of the style” she” attacked the course .” Czech athlete Ester Ledecka won a astonish gold.
Vonn still has another shot at glory in the downhill and alpine combined events.
