ST. ANTON, Austria (AP) — Ski great Lindsey Vonn was 10th fastest in a training run on Thursday for her first World Cup downhill in six years. Three weeks after her World Cup comeback with a titanium knee at age 40 in a super-G, Vonn completed the two-kilometer Karl Schranz course 2.55 seconds behind Federica Brignone of Italy.
The 27-year-old Swiss star leads the giant slalom and overall World Cup standings in search of a fourth straight crystal trophy in both. Odermatt also leads the downhill and super-G standings ahead of races at nearby Wengen next weekend.
Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt is almost unbeatable in World Cup giant slaloms — and especially at his home classic race.
