American Lindsey Vonn takes bronze in likely final Olympic downhill race

In what likely was the final downhill race of her Olympic career, Lindsey Vonn took bronze, finishing behind Italy's Sofia Goggia and Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel.

Vonn had been sitting in second until Mowinckel's run, in which the Norwegian skier finished .09 seconds behind Goggia's 1:39.22.

The American star has said this will be her final Olympics, and was emotional after realizing she had been bumped from second to third, 0.47 seconds behind Goggia.

In an interview with NBC, a tearful Vonn reflected on her career.
