Vonn Claims 61st World Cup Win in Val d'Isere
Lindsey Vonn notched up her 61st World Cup win with success in the women's downhill at Val d'Isere on Saturday.
The four-time overall World Cup champion claimed her latest race by clocking a time of 1min 44.47 sec to edge Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg and Austria's Elisabeth Goergl, who shared second at 19 hundredths of a second behind the American.
This was 30-year-old Vonn's second downhill win of the season after this month's win in Lake Louise, her first victory since a high speed crash in early 2013.
It put the girlfriend of 14-time golf major champion Tiger Woods just one win behind the all-time World Cup record of 62 held by Austria's Annemarie Moser-Proell.
Slovenia skier Tina Maze, who leads the overall World Cup standings, came in fourth.
