Kind of frustrating how Canada is finding ways to lose medals and the US is finding ways to win extra medals. Alpine skiing is a good example other than Vonn falling.

Let's not pile on, folks. I'm sure she feels quite poorly at this moment.

She had the 11th fastest time of the day which is why she didn't get atleast Bronze. Brutal.

It's not like she's on CP right now reading these remarks. The criticism is warranted.

This Own the Podium is such a scam. I can't believe how many of our athletes have been favored in their events but failed to win a medal. So disappointing.

It'll be really interesting to see how this second week goes. There's still a lot of medals to be won but top 3 for medal count may be slowly slipping out of our reach.

Why is that we always seem to hit a wall or a hurdle?

let's be real here, there was fractions seperating second from out of the medals she had one bad run and it cost her a medal, to bad it had to be her last run.
Feel extremely bad for her and i'm sure she feels absolutely horrific

But from what I've heard she's ranked no.1. She was the fastest in all the training runs but when it was time for the real thing she didn't even win a medal.

Well lets not be totally unrealistic here...she still participated in the olympics. How wicked and what an experience that is. But yes, she should have left with a medal.

All she needed was a clean run, and she smoked into two walls. Pity.

Choking seems to be a very Canadian way of performing. It's unfortunate that we seem to be that way, but at the same time I don't think it's really such a big deal. We do alright for a small nation of 30 million.
