U.S. sking star Lindsey Vonn suffered a back injury at the World Cup in Switzerland on Saturday, forcing her to withdraw for Sunday’s events.
On social media, users criticized her for the anti-Trump comments.
“I wish you no ill will, Lindsey. Truth is though, I lost interest in you as a competitor when you decided to forget the many of us who will be cheering the U.S. on and don’t appreciate your disrespect for our president,” wrote one person in a tweet.
After the injury, many tweeted the meme, “Donald Trump broke me,” at Vonn. Others suggested that she was a victim of the “Trump curse.”
“I don’t wish you any harm, but I do believe you reap what you sow. If you are participating in the Olympics—you are representing USA. @realDonaldTrump IS our POTUS, therefore you DO represent our POTUS. Leave your Political views at home. You don’t have another venue to hate?” wrote another user.
Vonn’s father, Alan Kildow, told The Associated Press that she is “OK” after the injury.
Earlier this week, before the injury, Vonn told CNN she hoped “to represent the people of the United States, not the president” during the Feb. 9-25 Pyeongchang Winter Games in South Korea.
