Overview
Lindsey Vonn, 41, extended her record with an 84th World Cup victory, marking her 45th downhill win and reinforcing her status in downhill skiing.
Vonn won the downhill race in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria, the fourth of nine scheduled downhill events this season, securing her second World Cup downhill victory of the Olympic season.
She earned 100 race points, increasing her lead to 129 points over Germany's Emma Aicher, who finished sixth in the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee race.
On a shortened course completed in under 67 seconds, Vonn reached about 130 kph and beat Norway's Kajsa Vickhoff Lie by 0.37 seconds in overcast conditions.
