The 2018 Olympics have been an emotional ride for skier Lindsey Vonn. She came to these Winter Games to win gold in honor of her late grandfather [1], a Korean War vet, and wore his initials, DK, on her helmet. And today, in her last Olympic downhill race, she came in third. Through tears, she told NBC, "I still think I made him proud."
