Gut takes overall World Cup title, Vonn wins downhill (The Associated Press)

Lara Gut made her overall World Cup title official on Wednesday, and Lindsey Vonn flew in to collect her eighth crystal globe in the downhill. Although Gut’s title – the first for a Swiss woman in 21 years – was effectively sealed last weekend at nearby Lenzerheide, it became a mathematical certainty in front of more home fans at the World Cup finals in St. Moritz. Mirjam Puchner won Wednesday’s race, taking advantage of the snowy conditions on the Engianda course to claim her first World Cup downhill victory.
