Lindsey Vonn's Return to World Cup

It's great to see her back!

Steve Nyoman on the podium today

I don't know ski racing, but she looked smooth to me, except for that one moment.

I kept thinking... don't crash, don't crash.  Obviously she can't think that way and have any chance to compete.

That's the way I think every time I ski!  What, you are not supposed to do that?

Good to see her back... last year really was too bad.  

Nice run by Lauren Ross to finish just 0.02 off the podium.  Maze smoked it

4 US girls in top 10 vs only 2 Austrians!

Lindsay's boyfriend just returned to action as well...

Plus Laurenne Ross 6th and Alice McKennis 18th. That's 2 days in a row that the US women have great DH results.

Lindsey Vonn on Verge of Tying All-Time World Cup Wins Record Sunday, Dec. 21 in Val d’Isere, France
 
Note: Universal Sports is the exclusive U.S. broadcast rights holder for this event.
 
Lindsey Vonn won her 61st World Cup win in today’s downhill race in Val d’Isere, France. Vonn will compete tomorrow (Sunday, Dec. 22) in the Ladies’ Super G also in Val d’Isere for a chance at a record-tying win. The competition will begin LIVE online at 4:30 a.m. ET on www.UniversalSports.com, and air on USN at 8 a.m. ET on delay.
 
Win No. 62 would tie Vonn for the All-Time Women’s World Cup wins record currently held by Annemarie Moser-Proell. This would also place her 2nd behind Ingemar Stenmark (86) in the men’s column. A complete list of Vonn’s 61 victories can be found at http://universalsports.com/lindsey-vonn-victory-tracker-career-retrospective/
 
Vonn (Vail, CO), the most decorated skier in U.S. history, is the only American woman to have captured downhill gold at the Olympics and the only American woman with four Alpine World Cup overall titles.
 
Highlights from Val d’Isere will be posted to www.UniversalSports.com immediately following the competition.

Vonn Record Will Have to Wait (from US Ski Team)

"Vonn skied well out of the start, but found herself caught short and went out, crashing but walking away relatively unscathed. "I skied pretty well on the top section, but I hit some softer snow and lost a little elevation and couldn’t make the gate," she said. "I’m still happy with today. I skied well and aggressively. The most important thing is my knees are good. I love being on the World Cup again and pushing myself every day. Today wasn’t as good as yesterday, but I’m skiing well."

Her quest to match the record 62 women's World Cup wins held by Annemarie Moser-Proell will have to wait. Vonn earned number 61 on Saturday. The speed tour resumes in January with downhill and super G stops in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Cortina and St. Moritz."
