Gut wins WCup downhill race in Val d’Isere, Vonn crashes (The Associated Press)
VAL D’ISERE, France (AP) — Swiss skier Lara Gut narrowly beat countrywoman Fabienne Suter to win a World Cup downhill race Saturday, while American Lindsey Vonn crashed while chasing a record-equaling win. Gut, who beat Vonn by just one hundredth of a second to win Friday’s super-combined race, edged Suter by 0.16 seconds on Saturday to secure her 15th career win and 23rd podium. ”I worked a lot on the video yesterday and it worked well for today,” the 24-year-old Gut said.
