Vonn’s Absence Leaves USA Devoid of Olympic Stars

Wednesday, 08 January 2014 | by Pat's Picks

With Lindsey Vonn announcing she’ll miss next month’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, the American contingent lost its most visible star. The Washington Post says snowboarder Shaun White is arguably the next most popular U.S. Olympian. Other stars, such as Apolo Anton Ohno, have retired. NBC executives say there’s still plenty to watch, noting that Vonn only accounted for 2 of Team USA’s 37 medals in Vancouver.
