Lindsey Vonn ties downhill wins record in dominating fashion

Lindsey Vonn tied the record for career World Cup downhill wins with her 36th and cut into her deficit in the World Cup overall standings in Zauchensee, Austria, on Saturday.

The four-time World Cup overall champion picked up her 72nd career World Cup win in a two-run, sprint downhill race.

Half of those victories have come in downhill, with Vonn matching retired Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll‘s record for men and women in that discipline.

Vonn prevailed by a combined one second over the two runs, with Canadian Larisa Yurkiw in second and Austria’s Cornelia Huetter third.
