CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn provisionally won a super-G on Monday to break Annemarie Moser-Proell’s 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup victories.

For win No. 63, the American clocked 1 minute 27.03 seconds down the Olympia delle Tofane course to finish 0.85 ahead of Anna Fenninger of Austria.

Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein was third, 0.92 back.

Vonn’s boyfriend, Tiger Woods, surprised her in the finish area, where the pair shared an emotional embrace.

Vonn exclaimed: “No way!” when she saw him.

“I didn’t think this could get any better than yesterday with my entire family here but now with Tiger here this is unbelievable,” Vonn said. “I said, ‘I can’t believe you came.’ And he said, ‘I told you.'”
