Abby Ringquist came in at 29th in the women’s ski jumping competition at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics — and she won’t be returning to improve on that placement.

The 28-year-old resident of Park City, Utah, both made her Olympic debut and competed for the last time on Monday after deciding to retire from the sport following these Olympic Games.

Will feminazies use her as an example of the determination, perseverance, and achievement women can experience?  Not on your life.  They are only interested in disruption and hate.
