Vonn Bombs Out Of Cortina Super G

Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Jan, 2019 ) :American ski star Lindsey Vonn failed to finish the World Cup Super G at Cortina on Sunday when she took a corner too wide whilst trying to claw back time.

The 34-year-old was racing her third event in the Italian resort this weekend after completing two downhill races on Friday and Saturday, albeit finishing 15th and 9th, as she overcomes her latest knee injury.

On this slightly slower but more technical Super G, a race she has won six times here, Vonn was chasing a pulsating time set by Tina Weirather when she lost control and went off the piste.

Vonn, with 82 World Cup wins to her name, has set herself the challenge of overhauling Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark's all-time record of 86 World Cup wins before retiring at Lake Louise next December.
