Skiing star Lindsey Vonn condemns Chennedy Carter allegedly decking Caitlin Clark: “She’s being targeted”

Over the weekend, Chennedy Carter's hard foul on Caitlin Clark became a big topic in the WNBA. Amid this, one fellow female athlete did not hold back when sharing how she feels about this.

In their matchup against the Indiana Fever, Carter yelled at Clark before running into her while she wasn't looking. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn responded to a clip of this on social media. She feels what Carter did is one of the many examples of Clark being targeted in the WNBA.

"I think it’s an intentional attack that is unnecessary. She is being targeted, when in fact, she is massively helping to elevate the game. She doesn’t need special treatment but she definitely shouldn’t be targeted, especially with that language," Vonn tweeted.

Vonn retired in 2019, citing injuries as one of the main reasons. Among Vonn's biggest accomplishments was winning a gold medal for Team USA at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
