Super-G crash makes Vonn wait in bid for record
VAL D’ISERE, France – American Lindsey Vonn’s bid for a record-equaling 62nd World Cup win will have to wait a little while longer.
The four-time World Cup winner crashed out of Sunday’s super-G race after entering a gate slightly too wide, as Elisabeth Goergl beat Olympic champion Anna Fenninger by .05 seconds to lead an Austrian 1-2.
Although Vonn did no damage to her troublesome right knee – after only starting to race again recently following two operations – she landed heavily on her right elbow.
After winning Saturday’s downhill, Vonn was looking for a fourth consecutive podium finish.
