Gut wins downhill and reclaims World Cup lead as Vonn falls (The Associated Press)
Swiss racer Lara Gut won a downhill by a large margin Friday and reclaimed the overall World Cup lead from Lindsey Vonn, who lost a ski, fell and did not finish. Vonn was the last of the favorites to start and was ahead of Gut at the first checkpoint but then her right ski detached on a tricky turn and she slid down the course on her hip. ”I was getting a little bit bounced by the ice there and I was a little bit inside of my body position and my ski just came off,” said Vonn, showing off her bent ski in the finish area.
