Lindsey Vonn Falls Short In Likely Last Olympics Run

By Simon Evans

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Switzerland’s Michelle Gisin won the women’s combined at the Pyeongchang Games on Thursday with American Mikaela Shiffrin taking silver while another Swiss Wendy Holdener won bronze.

Lindsey Vonn, who had led after the downhill section, was the last skiier to compete but did not finish her slalom run leaving the 24-year-old Gisin to take her first Olympic medal. The event was likely Vonn’s last Olympics run.

“It’s sad,” she said on Tuesday after placing third in the women’s alpine downhill final. “This is my last downhill. I wish I could keep going. I have so much fun. I love what I do. My body probably just can’t take another four years.”
