Lindsey Vonn earns 50th World Cup win
Lindsey Vonn captured her 50th World Cup victory Saturday by winning the downhill on the demanding Kandahar course in Garmisch- Partenkirchen, Germany. With the temperature at minus-13 degrees at the starting hut, Vonn trailed early but recovered at the bottom to win by nearly half a second on a slope that gave her trouble at last year’s world championships. “Fifty World Cup wins is a huge mark for me in my career and more than I even thought possible,” Vonn said. The American is third on the career list, behind Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria (62 victories) and Vreni Schneider of Switzerland (55). – Associated Press
