Alpine skiing-Chastened Vonn wins record 20th World Cup title (Reuters)
Lindsey Vonn won a record 20th World Cup trophy with second place in Saturday’s downhill in the northern Italian resort of La Thuile, after having to withdraw a video on social media for fear of upsetting her ski sponsor. Second place was enough to leave the American 173 points ahead of nearest rival Larisa Yurkiw of Canada in the downhill cup standings with one race — offering a maximum 100 points — remaining on the calendar. Vonn, who had previously shared the record of 19 titles with Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark who raced in the 1970s and 1980s, cut a much more cheerful figure after Friday’s controversy which followed her early exit from the first downhill at La Thuile.
