The downhill gold mission has started with a stutter start for ski star Lindsey Vonn. The Lufthansa flight from Munich to Seoul with Vonn on board had a delay of more than two hours on Wednesday.
“Can we please take off now?”wrote Vonn in the early evening on Twitter. Apparently there were no papers necessary for the launch, the American suspected.
Previously, she had already informed her followers that a fan on the plane had failed to take secret photos of them.
Also, another man in the seat next to her had to get out because he didn’t feel well.”Did I say something wrong?”wrote Vonn and wished him a “good recovery, guy”.
The 33-year-old, 2010 downhill Olympic champion 2010 in Vancouver, is not only driving for herself in South Korea, as she emphasized again on Wednesday. She wants to win gold in Jeongseon for her recently deceased grandfather Don Kildow. Kildow, who had been her “biggest fan and supporter”, was with the US Army in the Korean War (1950-1953),”I want to make him proud,”wrote Vonn.
