CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) β Lindsey Vonn won a downhill Sunday to match Annemarie Moser-Proell’s 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup wins.
The American clocked a time of 1 minute, 39.61 seconds down the Olympia delle Tofane course to finish 0.32 ahead of Elisabeth Goergl of Austria.
Daniela Merighetti of Italy was third, 0.54 back.
Vonn can break Moser-Proell’s record in a super-G scheduled for Monday.
