Lindsey Vonn
American ski great Lindsey Vonn  not only won a bronze medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics   she  also had a chance to scatter some of  her  grandfatherâs ashes on a rock near the mountain where the downhill races were run.
âI know that it would mean a lot to him to be back here  a part of him is in South Korea always â says  Vonn   who shared  her  story with The Associated Press and the Chosun Ilbo newspaper.
 Vonn  says  she  scattered parts of Don Kildowâs ashes âjust a few days agoâ on a rock that  she  was told was special when  she  visited South Korea last year to be named a Pyeongchang Olympic ambassador.  She  described the location as âright by the menâs downhill start.â
 Vonn  won a bronze medal in the downhill   but skied out of Thursdayâs slalom leg of the Alpine combined in what was likely  her  last Olympic race. Later in the day  a group of elderly South Korean men gave  her  family some gifts and a letter of thanks to mark  her  grandfatherâs service during the 1950-53 Korean War.
