3rdnlng Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 A sad day for skier Lindsey Vonn...... I find this so sad. She truly earned this medal... American Lindsey Vonn has had to forfeit her Gold Medal on Friday, June 24, 2011. The International Olympic Committee announced today that it has taken back the gold medal previously awarded to American skier Lindsey Vonn and given it to U.S. President Barack Obama. Olympic officials said Obama deserved the medal more than Vonn because no one has ever gone downhill faster than he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she handles this bad news with grace, she'll probably earn the Nobel Peace Prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't believe what they wanted her to do with her racket. She had too much integrity to do it. At least in public. I miss Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
