Vonn looses and wins
Tuesday February 9, 2010 - Email this article to a friend

Lindsey Vonn made a mistake on the Downhill course and ended up in 5^th 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.
