Vonn Wins Shortened Zauchensee Downhill for 84th World Cup Victory

The weather-shortened course showcased her precision, extending a run of five podiums in six speed events.

Overview

  • She prevailed by 0.37 seconds over Norway’s Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, with U.S. teammate Jacqueline Wiles third at 0.48 seconds back.
  • Germany’s Emma Aicher finished sixth, 0.68 seconds behind, and Kira Weidle-Winkelmann placed 12th with a 0.77-second deficit.
  • Organizers shifted the start lower after snow prevented preparation of the Gamskogelhütte start, creating a downhill just over one minute long.
  • The race was interrupted after Austria’s Magdalena Egger crashed and was airlifted to a Radstadt clinic with a suspected serious knee injury.
  • The win was Vonn’s second of the season and continues momentum viewed as significant before the February Olympics, with a Zauchensee Super-G next.
