US EditionVonn Adds to Strong Start in Olympic Ski Season with Third in World Cup Downhill Won by Huetter
Vonn extends her strong Olympic-season comeback with a third-place finish on the 2.8 km course, trailing winner Cornelia Huetter by 0.35 seconds, after three of nine downhill races.
- Lindsey Vonn took third at Val d'Isere while Cornelia Huetter claimed the downhill win, touching 126 kph and finishing 0.35 seconds ahead yesterday.
- Entering the Olympic season, Lindsey Vonn has produced a win, runner-up, fourth and third in nine days at age 41 with a right knee strengthened by titanium implants.
- Vonn cited a bottom-course error and losing time in tricky light, then congratulated Huetter with a smile and hug in the course-side leader's box.
- Vonn now leads the season-long downhill standings after three races and said she has 49 more days until the Olympics, aiming to be ready for the Milan Cortina Winter Games.
- The Val d'Isere result highlights both Huetter's credentials and the depth of the Olympic downhill field; Cornelia Huetter has five downhill wins, claimed the 2024 season title, and is a medal contender for Feb. 8 at Cortina d'Ampezzo.
