ST. MORITZ, Switzerland -– Lindsey Vonn (Vail) skied a tactically perfect weather shortened super G to capture her 57th Audi FIS Alpine World Cup victory and fourth this season. Julia Mancuso (Squaw Valley) continued the U.S. Ski Team’s speed dominance with third, the fourth straight World Cup speed race where two U.S. athletes have been in the top three.

Slovenia’s Tina Maze, who won the opening super combined in St. Moritz, was second by 0.37 to keep the overall chase tight.

It was the 20th super G podium of Vonn’s career placing her second in all-time SG wins behind Austrian great Hermann Maier (24). She is now five short of tying another Austrian Annemarie Moser-Proell for the women’s all-time World Cup win total with 62.

This was Mancuso’s second SG podium of the season.

“I like super G a lot and it’s been good for me this year with my new equipment. I’m having fun. It was good that we had downhill before super G because I was really able to figure out what was working,” Mancuso said.

Leanne Smith (North Conway, N.H.) was 15th, Laurenne Ross (Bend, Ore.) 17th and Stacey Cook (Mammoth Mountain) 26th.
