Pyeongchang: US ski star Lindsey Vonn had Twitter in a froth on Wednesday when she put the call out to her nearly one million followers for a Valentine’s Day date.

Many competitors at the wind-swept Pyeongchang Olympics marked Valentine’s Day by making heart shapes with their hands, but the 33-year-old Vonn was much more forward, tweeting: “So apparently it’s Valentine’s Day… I forgot all about it because I’m at the Olympics and I’m single.

“Anyone else out there single and want to be my valentine? #worthashot.”

Vonn, who won Olympic gold in the downhill and super-G bronze at the 2010 Games, dated golf former world No. 1 Tiger Woods for more than two years before they split up in 2015.
