Lindsey Vonn 10th fastest in practice for first World Cup downhill in six years Lindsey Vonn was 10th fastest in a training run on Thursday for her first World Cup downhill in six years.
Three weeks after the 40-year-old’s World Cup comeback in a super-G, Vonn completed the 2km Karl Schranz course 2.55 seconds behind Federica Brignone of Italy.
Vonn has won 43 World Cup downhills – a record for men and women – among her 82 career wins, a total that puts her third on the all-time list.
She placed 14th with a cautious run in the super-G on 21 December at St Moritz, and a scheduled second race was canceled due to poor weather.
The American, who is racing on a titanium knee, was clocked at close to 68 mph at a fast section of the hill where she won a downhill in December 2007.
