Lindsay Vonn :: Downhills wins

American star Lindsey Vonn claimed her 44th career Alpine World Cup women's ski win, her third triumph of the season and her second downhill victory in as many days on Saturday. Vonn won her 23rd career World Cup downhill, her ninth all-time downhill at Lake Louise in 1min 51.35secs. France's Marie Marchard-Arvier was second in 1:53.03 with Austrian Elisabeth Goergl third in 1:53.26. "To have two wins here already is awesome and I just hope I can keep it going tomorrow," Vonn said.

"It has been windy and we've had a lot of snow this week." US alpine speed queen Vonn has won both ski races since announcing she is to divorce her husband and coach, Thomas Vonn, after four years of marriage. The back-to-back triumphs on the Canadian mountain gave Vonn 10 overall World Cup victories at Lake Louise, matching Renate Goetschl's domination mark of 10 victories at one venue, the Austrian's 10 coming at Cortina d'Ampezzo. "I was happy with my run," Vonn said. "I made a few small mistakes. It was tough. There was a bit of tailwind at the bottom, which was pushing me around a little bit.
