Goggia gets gold; Bjoergen sets Winter Games medals mark

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Sofia Goggia refused to let Lindsey Vonn catch her. Or, anyone else.

The Italian skier won the women's downhill Wednesday , holding off Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway by 0.09 seconds and Vonn by 0.47 seconds.

"I was really focused — I moved like a samurai," Goggia said. "Usually, I'm really chaotic, but I wanted to take in every little detail, every particular in the morning. I believed in myself. And then what counts, counts."

Speaking of counting, Marit Bjoergen has had to do plenty of it during her Olympic career. She became the most-decorated Winter Olympian of all time with 14 career medals, getting the latest when Norway won the bronze in the women's team sprint in cross-country skiing .
