After tears in Sochi, Lara Gut challenging Vonn for title (The Associated Press)

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — When Lindsey Vonn eclipsed the career record for downhill wins last weekend, she and runner-up Larisa Yurkiw took turns spraying each other with champagne. As Vonn’s only real challenger for skiing’s overall World Cup title this season, Gut – it’s clear to see – won’t be satisfied with anything but beating the American. Lara Gut’s behavior in Cortina was a reminder of how she cried in disappointment after taking the bronze medal in the downhill at the 2014 Sochi Olympics – finishing 0.10 seconds behind joint gold medalists Tina Maze of Slovenia and Swiss teammate Dominique Gisin.
