Her unbeaten run in the Downhill this season ends as Maria Riesch wins in St Moritz. Vonn took first place in the Super-G though. Chemmy Alcott had a mixed weekend. It was the final racing ahead of the Olympics.
Lindsey Vonn made a mistake on the Downhill course and ended up in 5th place. She had won all the previous 5 Downhill races of the season.
However on Sunday she made no mistake and took first place in the Super-G. Reisch came 11th.
In Friday's Super combined Vonn came 3rd behind the winner, Anja Paerson from Sweden.
Vonn is favourite to win a batch of medals at the Olympics in 2 weeks time - it is not so much will she win a gold, but how many?
Britain's Chemmy Alcott came a disappointing 27th in the downhill, but was in the top 20 in the Super-G where she came 19th and came a very respectable 11th it the Super combined.
Alcott has been racing well recently and would have wanted to put in a better performance in the last World Cup downhill before the Olympics but will be reasonably pleased with two Top 20 placings.
For the full results of the Super-G see here and here is the official downhill result.
