ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Olympic downhill champion Lindsey Vonn of Vail torched the St. Moritz speed track for a 1.42 second margin of victory and her career 49th Audi FIS Alpine World Cup win.

Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley was fifth and Leanne Smith of North Conway, N.H., seventh as three Americans crowded the top 10.

It was Vonn’s eighth win of the season, second in two days, and extended her World Cup overall lead to 352 points over Slovenia’s Tina Maze. The win ties Vonn with Austrian Renate Goetschl for second on all-time DH wins list.

It was Smith’s career best World Cup finish and moved her inside the downhill top 20 standings.
