Lindsey Vonn records 75th World Cup victory

Lindsey Vonn notched her 75th World Cup win, and 10th in her last 11 speed-race starts, taking a super-G in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, on Sunday.

Vonn prevailed by .69 of a second over Liechtenstein’s Tina Weirather, with German Viktoria Rebensburg in third, 1.15 seconds behind. Full results are here.

Swiss Lara Gut placed fifth, meaning Vonn passed Gut in the chase for the World Cup overall title, the biggest prize in the sport this season with no Olympics or World Championships.

Vonn, seeking her fifth overall crown and first since 2012, leads Gut by 45 points with a little less than half the season remaining.
