US EditionSofia Goggia Gets Overdue World Cup Win in Super-G and Lindsey Vonn Is Third
Sofia Goggia claimed her 27th World Cup win and Lindsey Vonn secured her 142nd career podium in a race delayed by gusts, with Alice Robinson finishing second.
- In Val-d'Isère on Sunday, Sofia Goggia won the super-G, finishing in 1 minute 20.24 to edge Alice Robinson by 0.15sec and said `We will bring some champagne`.
- Strong gusts delayed the race for 10 minutes, and a shifting headwind boosted later starters; Sofia Goggia had skied fast this season but fell to 11th after leading at halfway on Saturday.
- Lindsey Vonn hit 105 kilometres per hour and finished 0.36sec behind Goggia, securing third place for the second straight day.
- Officials said the result was unofficial with low-ranked later racers yet to start, after a brief interruption when a giant inflatable cheese knocked down a course-side fence.
- Vonn now takes a three-week break until a Jan. 10 downhill at Altenmarkt, Austria, with recent wins boosting her build-up to the Milan Cortina Olympics that start on Feb. 6.
