Vonn skis to World Cup glory
Print Edition
LINDSEY Vonn became the most successful female in World Cup history when she won a Super-G yesterday, her 63rd victory in the competition.
American Vonn was tied with Austrian Annemarie Moser-Proell (1970-80) on 62 wins after her triumph on Sunday. The 2010 Olympic champion, winner of three downhills since her return in December from a 12-month injury absence, skied flawlessly to clock a time of one minute 27.03 seconds.
“It’s really a perfect comeback, it’s like a dream,” Vonn told reporters after finishing 0.85 seconds ahead of World Cup champion Anna Fenninger of Austria. Liechtenstein’s Tina Weirather was third, 0.92 seconds behind.
Boyfriend Tiger Woods was around on the Cortina D’Ampezzo slopes. “Yes, Tiger came. It was such a surprise. He kept sending me texts saying, ‘I’m with you,”’ she said.
