ST. MORITZ, Switzerland -– In her last race before the Vancouver Olympics, Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) won her third consecutive Audi FIS Alpine World Cup super G to lock up her second straight discipline title Sunday in Switzerland.

“I skied aggressively and that’s exactly what I wanted to do, not only for today, but also to give me confidence going into Vancouver,” Vonn said.

With 440 points to 220 for Swiss Fabienne Suter, the two-time defending overall champion assumes an insurmountable lead in the discipline with only two events remaining on the World Cup calendar post Olympics.

Vonn’s ninth win of the season ties her own American record and leaves her one short of Bode Miller’s still-active mark for most wins by a U.S. skier (32). Vonn also expanded her overall lead to 137 points over Germany’s Maria Riesch.

With the World Cup on hiatus until after Vancouver, the speed team will take a day off before starting their pre-Olympic prep at their European Training Base in Kaprun, Austria, while the technical group will return stateside.

The women’s team will arrive in Vancouver Feb. 9 with the opening event on Feb. 14 with the Olympic super combined.
