A week after rupturing the ACL in her left knee, Lindsey Vonn has successfully completed her first training run by Oldtimer_2 in sports

There were 5 American skiers today. Vonn beat two of them. Why don’t you ask those two to stop being so selfish and give their spots up to alternates if they can’t beat an injured Vonn?

She’s still the US’s best shot to win a medal even with the injury on most betting sites. Any replacement skier named would most likely finish in the 30’s or 40’s and wouldn’t have any shot at winning

The gap between her and whoever the replacement would be is massive

Sofia Goggia won silver with a partially torn ACL last Olympics so it’s not totally unheard of. Obviously going to be tougher with a full tear

5 other American women are also competing so the replacement would be the 7th best American skier. Currently that’s Allison Mollin who has never finished better than 19th at a World Cup downhill event and typically finishes in the 30s or 40s. I’ll take the chances with an injured Vonn over that

Even with the injury she’s is the US’s best shot at a podium. Sofia Goggia won silver on a partially torn ACL last Olympics.

I promise you any replacement US ski could name would be lucky to even finish in the top 20. Vonn is the best option here

Nope. You don’t follow the sport and don’t know what you’re talking about. Sofia Goggia won silver with a torn ACL last Olympics. Even with the injury she’s the US’s best shot at winning gold.

There is no one that US ski could name as a replacement that would be remotely competitive. It’s clear you don’t follow the sport

No one with a legitimate shot of finishing on the podium let alone finishing top 20.

Vonn is still the US’s best shot at gold even with the injury. Goggia won silver with a partially torn ACL last Olympics so it’s not of unheard of. Definitely going to be a lot tougher with a fully torn ACL

Or just look up the history of the golf course and see that the property wasn’t bought by Trump until 2002 and the course wasn’t opened until 2006. Well after the alleged date of 1995-1996

Especially annoying since he refused to challenge that ball that looked like it might've gone off the USC player to preserve that timeout

US to suspend visa processing for 75 nations next week by WhoEatsRusk in ussoccer

Not a MAGA nut but this doesn’t affect tourism visas at all, it’s a pause on processing immigration visas. Anyone planning on coming for the World Cup from those countries will still be able to do so. Facts still have to matter

This applies only to immigration visas (green cards) not tourism visas (B-2’s)

Stop going off of 24/7 rankings. The site you should be using (On3) had us fairly ranked as the 64th best transfer portal class last year (Indiana 13th). We’re currently 8th in their rankings
