Lindsey Vonn grabs 70th World Cup win with weekend sweep
Lindsey Vonn completed a weekend sweep of races in Lake Louise, Alberta, and reached 70 career World Cup wins with a historically dominant super-G performance Sunday.
Vonn prevailed on her favorite course, where she’s now won 18 times in 41 starts, by 1.32 seconds. It’s the largest margin of victory in a women’s World Cup super-G anywhere since March 7, 1997, according to ski-db.com.
Austrians Tamara Tippler and Cornelia Huetter were second and third.
Vonn, the 2010 Olympic downhill champion, also grabbed downhills Friday and Saturday in Lake Louise. She’s closer to the overall World Cup wins record of 86 held by retired Swede Ingemar Stenmark.
