With her Olympic gold medal, 31 World Cup wins in four disciplines (downhill, Super G, slalom and super combined) and two World Championship gold medals (plus two World Championship silver medals), she has become the most successful American woman skier in history.

All the prvious wins don't amount to jack-squat if she cannot keep it together after something goes wrong in some single event and it bleeds over into everything else including screwing the chances of the other team members then she is not good enough to have a team membership spot.
I as a fellow team member would like to have some reasonable assurrance that if a fellow team member screws up one event that the team member won't let it affect anything else they do.
That is a very good reason to dump her from the team. She is totally unreliable except for DNFing.
She has that action down pat. And there are plenty of undiscovered folks out there that don't have their head up their azz and are hungry enough to understand the serious responsibility being an Olympic team member.
Lindsay Vonn.....how about doing the US ski team a favor....resign from the team spot you have so thoroughly wasted and go back home and play with your Ken and Barbie ski dolls.....maybe with playing with the dolls you can at least simulate what it is like to finish an event...
