VONN’S FAREWELL BRONZE

LINDSEY VONN hit back at the trolls as she claimed bronze in her last Olympic downhill.

The US speed queen was attempting to become only the second skier, after Germany’s Katja Seizinger, to win two women’s Olympic titles in the blue riband event.

She said she would turn down a trip to the White House if she won gold, but that went to Italy’s Sofia Goggia.

Vonn (left), who defied serious knee injuries and a broken arm to compete and add to the gold and bronze medals she won in Vancouver in 2010, said: “For all the people that say bad things, there are 10 more that say nice things.

“If you think about what’s happened over the last eight years, and what I’ve been through to get here, I gave it my all. To come away with a medal is a dream come true.

“You’ve got to put things into perspective. Of course, I’d have loved a gold medal but, honestly, this is amazing and I’m so proud.”
