Lindsey Vonn's Consistency Is Unparalleled in the Olympic Ski Season with 7 Podiums in 8 Races

On Sunday, Lindsey Vonn finished second in a super-G on the Prampero course in Tarvisio, Italy, despite foggy conditions, marking her seventh podium in eight races.
Vonn's season-long consistency with seven podiums and no finish worse than fourth makes her a clear medal favorite in downhill and super-G for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
Emma Aicher edged Vonn by 0.27 seconds for her second win this season and fourth career victory, while Ester Ledecka placed third, 0.94 seconds behind.
There is only one more set of speed races before the Olympics, in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, Jan. 30-31; the Italian team announced Federica Brignone is returning and will decide after testing the Kronplatz course on Monday.
Alice Robinson, New Zealand skier, crashed into the final gate but appeared to avoid serious injury, and even Mikaela Shiffrin, American skier, with seven podiums in 14 technical races, hasn't matched Vonn's across-event consistency.
