US ski queen Lindsey Vonn has the last laugh on Twitter

US ski queen Lindsey Vonn had some fun at the expense of a Twitter troll and showed she is in jovial form in the build-up to the Pyeongchang Winter Games. Vonn, 33, had the last laugh, along with her many fans, when an anonymous critic on Twitter took aim at her, writing: "Loved the way you were unable to take criticism on Dancing With The Stars! I know it must have been a real learning experience."

There was only one problem with the dig at Vonn, as she pointed out in firing back: "I'm sorry this made me laugh. I was never on Dancing with the Stars, but thanks for the criticism nonetheless, high fives buddy." Vonn's supporters on Twitter took great joy in weighing in on her behalf, coming up with a variety of other ills that didn't involve her, using the hashtag #thingslindseydidntdo.

One Twitter follower wrote sarcastically: "Loved the way you were unable to hit the high notes while singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl! #thingslindseydidntdo." Vonn, a prolific Twitter user, replied dryly: "I know, me too. That flu hit me hard."
