Iga Swiatek triumphed at the WTA Finals 2023 in Cancun, also receiving compliments from former North American alpine skier Lindsey Vonn. However, the beautiful Lindsey was criticized by a user on social media due to her support for the Polish new world no.1.
In fact, on X many a fan have unfairly accused Vonn of being happy for the defeat of her countrywoman Jessica Pegula, forcing the former skier to justify herself on X. In the post, Lindsey wrote to Iga: “Yessssss!!!!! Go @iga_swiatek go!!!!!!” Iga and Lindsey are very good friends, which is precisely why Vonn’s post came about.
“Strange that an American is happy about the defeat of another American,” wrote the X user. In response, Vonn emphasized the right to simply be happy for her friend’s success. “Can I just be happy that my friend won a tournament? Jeez Louise, smh,” she replied.
Yessssss!!!!! Go @iga_swiatek go!!!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 https://t.co/Jrwcc6Tg5e — lindsey vonn (@lindseyvonn) November 7, 2023
