St Moritz, Switzerland (CNN)A number of US athletes have spoken out against Donald Trump during his presidency -- and skier Lindsey Vonn has become the latest to have her say. Targeting Olympic gold at February's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Vonn is in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where she spoke passionately about what it means to compete for the US ski team. "Well I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president," Vonn told CNN's Alpine Edge.

You twit, who cares what you do or don’t do. By being an athlete you think that you are relevant. You are not!

She should not be going. Period. Revoke her team position because of her disrespectful behavior that does not represent the best of the U.S.

Hmmmm, I wonder if her sponsors will like this negative exposure. If they push back, we’ll quickly see how deep her convictions are.

She’s not representing Trump, she’s representing the USA.

And doing a piss-poor job of it already, I would say.

This should be grounds for removal from the team.

Oh brother...not more of this bs...

I suppose it does help illustrate how petty and divisive left wingers are.

I can’t recall a single athlete grandstanding their dismay, dislike of Obama or even Bill Clinton.

The lunatic left is going off the rails. So, please Trump...GOP....do NOTHING to try and appease them. Sherman’s march to the see should be the idea for moving the national agenda. Take no prisoners...

Being overshadowed by Mikaela Shiffrin must be driving her nuts.
