Battle rages on between Vonn and Gut (Reuters)

(Reuters) – The battle for the World Cup overall title raged on as Switzerland’s Lara Gut outpaced American Lindsey Vonn in the La Thuile super-G to slice the gap at the top of the standings to a mere 23 points on Sunday. Vonn took over at the top from Gut in Saturday’s downhill when a second place gave her the title in that discipline. Vonn limited the damage with a third place after what she described as a ‘conservative’ run.
