Vonn continues Cortina success

Another day in Cortina, another record for Lindsey Vonn.

The American won a World Cup super-G for her 11th career victory at Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy, breaking the resort record of retired Austrian standout Renate Goetschl.

“It’s incredible to think back to when I was racing with Renate — it seemed like she won every single race in Cortina and she seemed unbeatable,” Vonn said. “And to have surpassed her now, it’s kind of hard to process all of these records. It’s hard to imagine having more success than my idols.”

By winning a downhill Saturday, Vonn eclipsed Annemarie MoserProell’s mark of 36 career wins in skiing’s marquee event.

And last year at Cortina, Vonn surpassed Moser-Proell’s women’s record of 62 wins across all events.

With another nearperfect run down the Olympia delle Tofane course, Vonn beat Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein by 0.69 seconds, with Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany third, 1.15 back.
