Saturday's sports briefs

Attacking an artificially lit course where no other competitor dared, Lindsay Vonn won a World Cup giant slalom in Are, Sweden, on Saturday for her fourth consecutive victory.

While she specializes in the speed events of downhill and super-G, Vonn has now won four giant slaloms in her career — with two of them coming in Are.

"When I was a kid [in Minnesota] I always trained under the lights after school. So I really like racing under the lights. It's really fun."

Charging down a shortened course due to strong winds in the opening run, Vonn held on to her lead in the second run amid snowfall and clocked a two-run combined time of 2 minutes, 4.70 seconds.

Meanwhile, Olympic slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin is going home to the United States for medical care after injuring her right knee during warmups.

"I am flying home tomorrow for a complete evaluation. I have at least MCL injury and bone bruising, hopefully no additional injury. Full diagnosis and recovery predictions after I'll see a doctor at home," Shiffrin wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

It was one nice day for the U.S. swimming team.

Matt Grevers finally broke the world record he so desperately wanted — the 100-meter backstroke — amd Missy Franklin set an American record in the 200 freestyle, helping the U.S. pull away from the European All-Stars for a 155-107 victory at the Duel in the Pool in Indianapolis.

While making two Olympic teams and winning four gold medals, the 30-year-old Grevers spent years chasing a record set by American Nick Thoman in 2009. So when Grevers looked up and saw his time of 48.92, just ahead of Thoman's 48.94, he was thrilled.

Franklin broke Katie Hoff's record with a time of 1 minute, 52.74 seconds for her only win in the two-day meet.

In the other semifinal, backup quarterback Connor Jessop threw two touchdown passes and Shepherd survived two last-minute two-point conversion attempts to hold off Grand Valley State 34-32 in Shepherdstown, W.Va.
