Vonn wins 3rd straight

Lindsey Vonn won her second World Cup downhill race of the weekend in Germany, and her third straight victory overall.

“It’s just been a perfect weekend,” said Vonn, who plans to compete in downhill, super-G and the combined event at the Olympics. “It has really been the exact preparation that I was hoping for going into South Korea.”

In a scenario similar to Saturday’s race, Vonn beat Sofia Goggia for the win. Vonn clocked 1 minute, 37.92 seconds to beat her Italian rival by 0.11 seconds, after edging her by just 0.02 the day before.

Vonn’s 81st World Cup win left her five short of the all-time mark set by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark.

“You get a little greedy,” Vonn said. “Once you keep winning, you want to win more. For sure, I will ski another season and see how high I can get the number.”
