Lindsey Vonn crashes out in bid for record

Lindsey Vonn's bid for a record-equaling 62nd World Cup win will have to wait a little while longer.

The four-time World Cup winner from Burnsville crashed out of Sunday's super-G race in Val D'Isere, France, after entering a gate slightly too wide. Elisabeth Goergl beat Olympic champion Anna Fenninger by .05 seconds to lead an Austrian 1-2 finish.

Vonn did no damage to her troublesome right knee — after only starting to race again recently following two operations — but she landed heavily on her right elbow.

"I was risking everything and attacking the course. That sometimes that happens in super-G, where you don't have any training runs and you have just one inspection," Vonn said. "I hit my elbow, somehow funny. I have some ice on it. It's just a little bit swollen but no big deal."

After winning Saturday's downhill, Vonn was looking for a fourth consecutive podium finish and was .01 ahead of Georgl's time on the first split.

"I didn't feel quite as sharp as I normally do," Vonn said. "I was a little bit tired. Yesterday was a very long day."

She was looking to move level with Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proll for all-time wins.

Ted Ligety needs some training. Some snow would help, too.

Struggling with a broken wrist and without the training volume he normally relies on, the Olympic champion was beaten soundly by Austrian rival Marcel Hirscher again in an unusually bumpy World Cup giant slalom race in Alta Badia, Italy.

Hirscher finished 1.45 seconds ahead of second-place Ligety for his third consecutive victory in the technical events of GS and slalom.

Ligety, who has won only once this season, attributed his recent struggles to a lack of training. That's partly because of the week he lost after his injury but mostly because snow is low everywhere from Chile to Colorado to the Alps.
